Liopropoma ZBK n. sp.

An undescribed species of the genus Liopropoma ZBK was encountered when diving at steep cliff walls at Pedra da Galé, Príncipe (Figure 9) and at Diogo Vaz, São Tomé . The solitary animals were encountered between 32 and 45 m depth. Attempts to catch a specimen failed. This is the first record of the genus Liopropoma ZBK in the eastern Atlantic. This genus was known only from the Indo-Pacific and from the western Atlantic.
