Abstract
A preliminary study of the large collection of specimens belonging to the family Lichenoporidae (Bryozoa, Cyclostomida) in the Museum Nation al d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris) has allowed the identification of elev en taxa, one of them determined only at the generic level. One of the ten species is new to Science: Lichenopora aztiensis sp. nov. The stud y of a large number of specimens has allowed to correct many mistaken identities. So, the knowledge of the geographic distribution of the sp ecies known in the Atlanto-Mediterranean and Boreal provinces has been improved.
