Lepidochitona rolani Kaas & Strack, 1986 Figs 6A–F Lepidochitona rolani Kaas & Strack 1986: 83, figs 1, 16–28; Kaas & Van Belle 1987: 33, fig. 15; Kaas 1991: 91; Rolán 2005: 27, fig. 3. Type material: Holotype in MNCN. Paratypes: Many specimens in several institutions (see Kaas & Strack 1986). Type locality: Cape Verde Archipelago, São Vicente, Calhão, intertidal. Material examined: ST06: 1 specimen, length 2 mm, and 7 valves (2 head, maximum width 2.2 mm, and 5 intermediate, maximum width 3 mm) (BD 120A); ST11: 3 valves (2 intermediate, maximum width 2.2mm, and 1 tail, width 2.1 mm) (BD 120B); PR05: 5 intermediate valves, maximum width 2.5 mm (ER); PR07: 13 valves (2 head, maximum width 2.8 mm, 10 intermediate, maximum width 3.7 mm, and 1 tail, width 1.6 mm) (BD 120C). Distribution: Cape Verde Archipelago, and São Tomé and Príncipe Islands. Comparison and remarks: The material examined was a unique, small living specimen (Fig. 6A) and many separate valves, well defined by the rounded intermediate valves, and by the characteristic microsculpture (Figs 6D, 6F). All are characters that agree well with the original description given by Kaas and Strack (1986).
