Abstract
The sediments from 16 localities (8 from the Island of Elba, 3 from the Island of Giglio, and 5 from the Island of Capraia) yielded several hundreds of specimens, all identified. They belong to 28 species in 13 genera in 5 families. Of the three island, Elba, with 25 species, proved to be the richest, followed by Capraia, with 18 species, and finally by Giglio with only 8 species. Diplodasys meloriae, Tetranchyroderma quadritentaculatum, and T. sanctaecaterinae are new to science. Tetranchyroderma cirrophora is new for the Italian fauna.
