“…Some species were registered for the first time from the Iberian waters: Munna fabricii, Uromunna petiti, Monodanthura maroccana, Stellanthura cryptobia and Natatolana gallica (Table 3). Species new to science were described from samples in this collection, such as Arcturella poorei (Castelló, 1997), Astacilla cingulata and Astacilla paucisaetosa (Castelló and Carballo, 2000), thus constituting the first records for the Iberian fauna, the first one from the Atlantic littoral and the other two from the Mediterranean.…”

“…This species was described from samples collected at Villefranche-sur-mer (France). Castelló and Carballo (2000) cited it for the first time from the Iberian littoral zone. It was collected at 3-12 m, on Padina, Sphaerococcus and Halopteris.…”

“…There is a doubtful record by Franch and Ballesteros (1993) from the Balearic Islands. Castelló and Carballo (2000) cited it as a species accompanying the holotypes of A. cingulata Carballo, 2000 andA. paucisaetosa Castelló andCarballo, 2000, from Algeciras Bay.…”

“…Previous research in the area, such as those of Camiñas (1984) and Cano and García (1987) in the Huelva estuary, Mayoral et al (1994) in the mouth of the Piedras River (Huelva), Rodríguez and Viéitez (1992) in Punta Umbría (Huelva), and Drake et al (1997), Rallo et al (1987) in the Bay of Cadiz, have evidenced the presence of 21 species in the Atlantic Andalusian coasts. In recent years new species have been described in the Strait of Gibraltar (Castelló, 1997;Castelló and Carballo, 2000), which points to the fact that the isopod fauna from the area remains relatively unknown.…”

SUMMARY: A total of 42 isopod species from the Strait of Gibraltar and nearby areas were found, including the first record of Munna fabricii, Monodanthura maroccana, Campecopea hirsuta, and Natatolana gallica from the Mediterranean; Synisoma nadejda and Uromunna petiti from the Atlantic; and Munna fabricii, Uromunna petiti, Monodanthura maroccana, Stellanthura cryptobia and Natatolana gallica from the Iberian waters. This article includes the previous records from the Iberian waters for all the species. The greatest number of species were found in Tarifa (16 species), located in the transition zone between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. According to depth, the distribution of species was as follows: 18 species were collected in the intertidal zone, mostly Dynamene edwardsi and Ischyromene lacazei; 33 species were found between 1 and 10 m, 13 species were found between 11 and 20 m, and 6 species were found between 21 and 28 m, mostly Janira maculosa. According to habitat, 16 species were collected on soft bottoms, 2 species on Zostera, and 22 species on algae substrata, mostly Halopteris, Asparagopsis and Cystoseira. The most diverse genus was Cymodoce (5 species). This paper contributes to the taxonomic, faunistic and biogeographical knowledge of the benthic communities from the Strait of Gibraltar and nearby areas.

Three species of the isopod genus Astacilla were collected off Alborán Island (SW Mediterranean Sea) within the LIFE + INDE-MARES project. Twelve specimens of the rare species Astacilla carlosteroi (Reboreda, Wägele & Garmendia, 1994) were found; this species is only known as a single incomplete female from Galicia (NW Spain, Atlantic). Males, reported for the first time, are described, as well as morphological details provided for two additional species, A. dilatata (G.O. Sars, 1883) and A. mediterranea Koehler, 1911.
