Fig. 57

Material examined

MOROCCO − Juby Cape ( Tarfaya ) • 2 ♂♂ (79.8 ×60.3, 61.4 ×45.8); Jul. 1933; MNCN20.04/10195 .

Remarks

Necora puber is mainly distributed in European waters. Although there are records of N. puber in Morocco, this new one confirms the presence of this species further south, on the border between Morocco and Western Sahara, as Capart published in 1951.

For identification and distribution, see algo Capart (1951) and Fransen (2014).
