Five specimens of Eumunida bella ranging from 6 to 39 mm carapace length (CL) were collected off Gran Canaria, which confirms the presence of this species off the Canary Islands, the northernmost distribution limit of the species known to date. One additional 15.5 mm CL specimen was caught off Santiago, also confirming the occurrence of this poorly known species off the Cape Verde Islands. The present material was collected with both benthic and semifloating traps.
