Abstract
During a study of endobiontic fauna of demosponges developed in some littoral sta- tions of Tenerife and Madeira, representatives of all families that form the Scolecida taxon have been collected, except Scalibregmatidae and Cossuridae. Among the polychaetefauna obtained three species which stood out were recorded for the first time for the Canaries, Micromaldane ornithochaeta, Armandia cirrhosa and Aricidea assimilis, and two for Madeira, Branchiomaldane vincenti and M. ornithochaeta. The species M. ornithochaeta, A. cirrhosa and A. assimilis are described and also drawn as well as a larval state of Opheliidae.
