Abstract

Dercitus (Stoeba) pseudodiscorhabda sp. nov. is described from the tropical western Atlantic. It is the only Dercitus (Stoeba) with four-rayed calthrops and discorhabds-like sanidasters. This is the 16th species of the genus to be recognized worldwide, the sixth from the Atlantic. The new species is compared with all its congeners worldwide.
