Abstract

The morphology of the siphonal spines of the seven Microcosmus spicies present in the Spanish and scale-shaped. For their intraspecitic constancy and their readiness of observation, these spines can be used as a useful character in the classification of these species. They are specially helpful in the differentiation of some species of very similar external and internal apperance, such as M. vulgaris/M. subatieri or M. claudicans/M. savignyi.
