Two very scarce Pycnogonides have been signalized in Roscoff area: Achelia simplex Giltay, 1934, a new mediolitoral species for France and Hannonia echinata, a new circalitoral species for Science. The discovery of the last one is surprising because the genus Hannonia, and two other species, were known only in South an West Africa.
