Abstract

New data about the distribution of four species of ascidians in the Iberian Peninsula coast are given: Aplidium glabrum (Verril, 1871) and Synoicum pulmonaria (Ellis & Solander, 1786) are recorded for the first time in Iberian Peninsula, Aplidium punctum (Giard, 1873) is recorded for the first time in the Spanish coast and A. asperum (Drasche, 1883) for the Atlantic Iberian coasts. The tadpole lawae of A. glabrum is described for the first time and its northem distribution limit is enlarged. The synonymy between A. asperum and A. coeruleum is discussed.
