Abstract


Two large collections of Cylindroiulus were examined (one from the Basque country and Navarra and one from Andalucía) supplemented by other, smaller collections from other areas of Spain; in total 10 species were represented. Three new species are described: C. caramelos sp. nov., C. elosegiorum sp. nov. and C. karinhansorum sp. nov. The remaining seven species are: C. londinensis (Leach, 1814), C. franzi Attems, 1952, C. punctatus (Leach, 1815), C. pyrenaicus Brölemann, 1897, C. sagittarius Brölemann, 1897, C. sanctimichaelis Attems, 1927 and C. unciger Attems, 1952. Information has been presented on these species where this has added to that previously available. Comments have been made on the challenging londinensis-group which seems particularly specious in the Iberian Peninsula. Suggestions are made for further work on this group include genetic studies.
