F. M¨¹ller, 1776) and Stichopus regalis (Cuvier, 1817), are here recorded from the Azores for the first time. The presence of the two starfishspecies Chaetaster longipes (Retzius, 1805) and Luidia ciliaris (Philippi, 1837) in the Azores is confirmed and the spawning behaviour of the sea urchin Echinocyamus pusillus (O. F. M¨¹ller, 1776) is described.
