Abstract

The occurrence of the hoplonemertean Emplectonema neesii in the north-east Atlantic has been reported from Iceland to France. This paper provides the first record of E. neesii in Galicia (north-west Spain), possibly the most southern location, if the previous records under this name from the Mediterranean referred to a different species. Morphological data and pictures of this species are provided.
