| Popis: | During several sampling campaigns in the regions of Galicia and Andalusia in Spain and the Algarve region in Portugal, specimens of twelve species of schizorhynch rhabdocoels were collected. Four of these are new to science: three species of Proschizorhynchus (P. algarvensis sp. nov., P. arnautsae sp. nov. and P. troglodytus sp. nov.) and one species of Schizochilus (S. coninxae sp. nov.). The new species of Proschizorhynchus can be distinguished from their congeners by the curvature and length of their stylet, as well as the cirrus sheath and the organisation of the genital system. Schizochilus coninxae sp. nov. has a distinct two-part stylet that is unique within the genus. In addition to these new species, new data are reported for the diascorhynchid Diascorhynchus caligatus and the schizorhynchids Carcharodorhynchus multidentatus, C. tenuis, C. flavidus, Proschizorhynchus pectinatus and P. reniformis. Finally, new records for C. flavidus from the Hawaiian archipelago are presented. We thank the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia and the Estación Biológica de Doñana (ICTS-RBD, Spain) for the financial and logistical support of the fieldwork in Doñana National Park. Collecting trips to the Algarve were financed by the EU FP7 ASSEMBLE grant agreement no. 227799. We would like to thank the Centro de Ciências do Mar (Centre of Marine Sciences) of the University of the Algarve, Portugal, for providing excellent working and sampling facilities, in particular Dr Ana Amaral for the kind and efficient logistic support and Dr Jorge Gonçalves for collecting the samples at the islands near Sagres. Special thanks also go to the captain of the Zodiac for his help with sampling in the Ria Formosa. The research of S.G. was supported by a PhD-grant of BOF-UHasselt. M.M. is funded by a PhD fellowship from the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen). We would like to thank Ria Vanderspikken and Natascha Steffanie for their valuable assistance in the lab. Dr Bart Tessens and Dr Niels Van Steenkiste are thanked for their involvement in collecting specimens from the Algarve, Portugal and Doñana National Park, Spain. Dave Bosmans is cordially thanked for his help with processing the images included in this work |
