Abstract
Echinoderes gerardi sp. nov. is described from adult and preadult stages collected at Korbous, Tunisia, where they were found inhabiting the red-orange sponge Tethya aurantium (Pall.). The new species is the same color as the sponge and appears closely related to E. ehlersi from Zanzibar and E. dujardinii from coastal Europe. Adults and several juvenile stages of E. riedli were collected from sediments in the Punic Port at Salammbo (Carthage), Tunisia. This latter species was previously known only from a single specimen collected near Al-Ghardaqa on the Egyptian coast of the Red Sea.
