Abstract / Notes

Three new species of Minoninae (Proseriata, Monocelididae), belonging to the genus Duplominona, are described
from infralittoral sandy bottoms in the Bay of Calvi, Corsica [France]: D. paucispina sp. nov., D. corsicana
sp. nov. and D. lingicirrus sp. nov. D. paucispina is characterized by a short cirrus with only nine spines
of the same size and shape (5-5.6 .mu.m long); D. corsicana has a cirrus, 20 .mu.m long with numerous small
spines (1-1.5 .mu.m) and D. longicirrus has a cirrus of 90 .mu.m length and numerous very fine spines of 0.5
.mu.m. An overview of the major diagnostic features of the 14 known species of the genus Duplominona is given
as an identification key.
