Resumo(s)
Cadenat (1950) summarized the state of knowledge
on the marine fishes of Senegal. Since then, numerous
publications have noted the presence of additional
species, described new species and/or revised genera
and families of the area (e. g. Cadenat 1953, Cadenat
1960, Wirtz 1980, Séret & Opic 1981, Edwards 1986,
Bath 1990, Rocha et al. 2012, Wirtz 2012). The coasts
of Senegal, however, are still poorly explored and
without doubt many cryptic species remain to be
detected, in particular by SCUBA diving. During
dives at the coast of Senegal, in the vicinity of
Dakar, two fish species were observed that apparently
have not yet been recorded from the African
mainland coast.
