Abstract

This work reports the occurence of the coral crab Carpilius corallinus for the coast of Bahia State, Brazil, found on the shore at Salvador. A male specimen of C. corallinus was accidentally collected by a fisherman using a bottom longline at April 13th, 2002, in Itapuã, Salvador, Bahia (12º58'35"S, 38º20'24"W), at approximately 30 m depth. This record reduces the biogeographical gap of this species on the coast of Brazil.
