Abstract


The Invertebrate Collection is part of the 17 collections from the National Museum of Natural Science of Madrid (MNCN-CSIC). Up to now, this collection included specimens of 27 animal phyla. The present contribution determines the donation of 44 specimens belonging to 25 species, 13 genera and six families of the phylum Kinorhyncha, increasing the number of represented phyla of the aforementioned collection to 28. For each species, locality, date and project of origin are provided. Furthermore, the species Pycnophyes giganteus is reported for the first time in Balearic waters.
