“…Three species occurred only in artificial substrata, the ascidian Ascidia tenue (Monniot, 1983), the barnacle Balanus trigonus Darwin, 1854 and the polychaete Polydora cornuta Bosc, 1802. One NIS was exclusively found on natural substrata, the ascidian Sidneioides peregrinus Kremer, Metri & Rocha, 2011 (Table 1). Four NIS are reported here for the first time in natural substrata in the region, the octocoral Carijoa riisei (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1860), the hydrozoan Garveia franciscana Torrey, 1902, the barnacle Striatobalanus amaryllis Darwin, 1954 and the bivalve Myoforceps aristatus (Dillwyn, 1817) (also known as Lithophaga aristata and Leisolenus aristatus).…”
