* Abudefduf luridus (Cuvier, 1830) —Canary damsel

* Abudefduf saxatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) —Sergeant major

Recorded from Madeira by Freitas and Araújo (2006).

* Chromis limbata (Valenciennes, 1833) —Azores chromis

This species has been previously confused with Chromis chromis (Linnaeus, 1758) , e.g. by Maul (1949), Nunes (1974: 79), and by Lloris & Rucabado in Quéro et al. (1990: 846-847), who include an (erroneous) record of the species from Madeira by Fowler (1936). See Domingues et al. (2005) for a genetic study of eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Chromis species.
