Resumo: | ABSTRACT Holothurians correspond to 20-25 % of all known species of echinoderms. In the Colombian Pacific, 34 species have been recorded, of which 11 have been recorded on Gorgona Island. This is the first report of the lion’s paw sea-cucumber Euapta godeffroyi on the island. The specimen was collected by scuba diving in the subtidal coralline patch known locally as El Arrecifito del Muelle, at a depth of approximately 2 m. It was about 80 cm long and between 2 and 3 cm in diameter. The ossicles of the body wall basically correspond to anchors and anchor plates; the latter have tiny ramifications at the base of the central axis. The present report fills a gap in the distribution of this species for the Tropical Eastern Pacific.
