3 páginas, 2 figuras, 1 tabla.Heretofore, the pinnotherid crab, Afropinnotheres monodi, had been recorded only from African waters. The range is now extended into European waters with discovery of material in the Gulf of Cádiz. Furthermore, early collections of material had occurred only in open water; now three hosts can be assigned, the clams Scrobicularia plana, Ruditapes decussatus and Cerastoderma glaucum. Further discoveries of this pinnotherid may now be expected, especially along the coast of Portugal.For financial support we want to thank Junta de Andalucía PAIDI (Plan Andaluz de Investigacion Desarrollo e Innovacion), for funding to groups RNM 108 and RNM 141.Peer reviewe
