Abstract

Three species of the Polyclinidae family from the Mediterranean are described: Morchellium argus, Aplidium aff. nordmanni and Aplidium conicum. The two first, are from the Western Atlantic Ocean, which principally differs from the native species A. conicum in the number of the rows of stigmata and the shape of stomach. The spatial and temporal distributions of the three species are described in this paper.
