Only one specimen of Stylostomum ellipse was captured (09/01/2012) from stones in the “O Rodal de Nuestra Señora”, at a depth of 32 metres (42°31.9010N, 008°58.5330W). Stylostomum ellipse is considered a cosmopolitan species. Records of Stylostomum ellipse are distributed around the world including the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic coast of western Europe (Great Britain, France, Scandinavia), South America (Falkland Island, Tierra de Fuego), South Africa (Cape Town) (Prudhoe 1985) and Antarctica (Hallez 1905). Our samples represent the first record for the Iberian Peninsula.
