Abstract(s)

The Pennatulaceans Pteroeides spinosum (Ellis, 1764) and Pennatula aculeata Danielssen, 1860 are noted from Madeira for the first time. With the species Veretillum cynomorium (Pallas, 1766) already being known from the area, there are now three species of Pennatulacea recorded from Madeira.
