GRANJA-FERNANDEZ, Rebeca; ANTONIO-PEREZ, Virgilio e LOPEZ-PEREZ, Ramón Andrés. Euapta godeffroyi (Holothuroidea: Synaptidae): Filling the distribution gap between Mexico and Costa Rica, eastern tropical Pacific. Hidrobiológica [online]. 2013, vol.23, n.1, pp.130-132. ISSN 0188-8897.
One specimen of the sea cucumber Euapta godeffroyi (Semper, 1868) is reported from La Entrega reef (15°44'34'' N, 96°07'35'' W), Southern Mexican Pacific. The specimen was observed feeding late at night, supporting the nocturnal habits of this species which is a deposit feeder. No specimens of this species had been previously reported for the area extending from Isla Isabel, Mexico (21°51'43'' N, 105°53'28'' W) to Golfito, Costa Rica (8°37'02'' N, 83°09'01'' W); the new record fills part of its distribution gap in the eastern tropical Pacific.
