During the “Tydeman” CANCAP VII expedition to the Cape Verde Islands in 1986 and the “Tyro” MAURITANIA II Expedition to the Banque d’Arguin off the coast of Mauritania in 1988, several specimens belonging to two species within the genus Periclimenes were trawled from deep water constituting range extensions for both species. The specimens are here compared with previous descriptions, illustrated, and their distribution is discussed.
