Resumo

Three species of the family Chromadoridae were collected during an ecological study of the intertidal and shallow soft-bottoms of two beaches in Tenerife. Two of these species were determined to genus level: Actinonema sp and Hypodontolaimus sp, due to the lack of adult specimens in the first genus and the presence of aduhs in poor conditions in the sec- ond. Another species recorded was Ptycholaimellus ponticus (Filipjev, 1922). Descriptions, figures and meristic data of each species are presented, as well as, autoecological data from sampling stations.
