“…Thus far, we have found numerous species of both macrodasyids and chaetonotids that are new to the Italian fauna or new to science. The first results of this research are presented in the present paper and in those of Hummon et al (1992), Balsamo et al (1992), , and Todaro et al (1992). This is the second of a series of papers, which will describe a total of about 40 new species from Italy that we discovered during our work in the summer of 1989.…”

“…Though others have searched for it, no one has since seen this enigmatic animal. Subsequently, several workers have studied in the region of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea: Remane (1927aRemane ( , b, 1951, Wilke (1954), Papi (1957), Boaden (1965a, b), Clausen (1965), Renaud-Mornant (1968), Hummon (1977), Todaro et al (1988), Balsamo et al (1992), , and Todaro et al (1992). Some have worked in the Adriatic Sea: Grünspan (1908), De Zio & Grimaldi (1964), Schrom (1966a, in Riedl 1970, Tongiorgi & Balsamo (1984), and Hummon et al (1990).…”

A new genus, Dendropodola, and species, D. transitionalis, are described in the family Dactylopodolidae. Three new species, Cephalodasys hadrosomus, Mesodasys adenotubulatus, and Mesodasys ischiensis, are described in the family Lepidodasyidae. And, six new species, Pseudostomella etrusca, Ptychostomella tyrrhenica, Tetranchyroderma heterotubulatum, Tetranchyroderma hypopsilancrum, Tetranchyroderma pachysomum, and Tetranchyroderma thysanophorum, are described in the family Thaumastodermatidae. All were collected in littoral and shallow sublittoral sediments along the Italian coastline of the Mediterranean Sea and its adjacent waters.

The species Chaetonotus lacunosus Mock, 1979 is redescribed and refigured from specimens collected in littoral and shallow sublittoral sediments along the entire Italian coastline of the Mediterranean Sea and its adjacent waters. Six species new to science are described and figured: Chaetonotus apecbocbaetus, C. apolemmus, C. siciliensis, Halichaetonotus etrolomus, H. margaretae, and H. thalassopais. The proper nomenclature for Halichaetonotus decipiens (Remane, 1929) is noted, and a new combination is given: Musellifer delamarei (Renaud-Mornant, 1968) n. comb.

In this meio-faunistic survey along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, gastrotrichs were found in sand collected mostly from beaches on barrier islands. Sediment from Florida and Alabama contained the largest species number. South Texas collecting sites also hosted a very diverse gastrotrich fauna. Paucitubulate Chaetonotida, previously unreported from the area, accounted for about one half of the 45 species encountered. After comparing local specimens also with high resolution videosequences of individuals collected from distant geographic regions, the amphi-Atlantic and/or cosmopolitan distribution of 27 of these species, is confirmed.
