Abstract
Abstract Both species were collected from pinewood panels immersed at 10 m depth. Xylophaga nidarosiensis sp.n. resembles X. dorsalis though differing in the nature of the mesoplax and in the presence of a well-developed protuberance anterior to the chondrophore, like that found in X. foliata, from which the new species differs in other details. X. noradi is closely related to X. dorsalis, from which it differs only in the nature of the siphon, which is massive and short in X. noradi and long and slender in X. dorsalis. Furthermore, in X. noradi the incurrent and excurrent siphons are of equal length with their openings situated close together, whereas in X. dorsalis the excurrent siphon is much shorter than the incurrent one.
