Zusammenfassung:New data about the Mediterranean pycnogonids are given. For this contribution, we analysed 315 samples that until now had remained unidentified, collected in 1979-1980 in the Tyrrhenian Sea close to Torrevaldaliga, Italy. We found six species: Ammothella appendiculata, Anoplodactylus californicus, Endeis biseriata, Endeis spinosa, Nymphon gracile and Tanystylum conirostre. Two of them are the subject of taxonomical and faunal remarks: morphological features of Anoplodactylus californicus specimens are reported and discussed, and the first record of Endeis biseriata for the Mediterranean Sea is reported.
