Brachiopoda collected by cancap I-III expeditions to the South-East North Atlantic. 1976-1978

Recent brachiopods collected by CANCAP expeditions to the south-east North Atlantic between 1976 and 1978 are identified. Species belonging to Pelagodiscus, Gryphus? Dyscolia, Terebratulina, Eucalathis, Argyrotheca, Megathiris, Platidia, Phaneropora, Megerlia, Dallina, Macandrevia and Lacazella have been recognised, including a new species Argyrotheca grandicostata. Comparisons are made to show the close relationships of these Mauritanian brachiopods to recently-described brachiopod faunas from the Gulf of Gascogne (Lusitanian) and the Mediterranean Sea.
