The species Pleurodictyum elisabetae sp.nov. is erected. Michelinia guerangeri (Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1851) and Cleistopora smythi Le MaƮtre, 1952 are described for the first time from Spain. The Spanish fauna's biogeographical relationships to France, Germany and northern Africa are very close. The Spanish fauna belongs to the Ibarmaghian Domain of the North Gondwana Province. The biostratigraphical value of the species found is very limited. ER -
