The heteronemertean species Micrura dellechiajei is thus far only known from its type locality in the Gulf of Naples (Italy) and has not been recorded in 120 years. During two oceanographic surveys conducted in Spanish Mediterranean waters, several nemertean specimens were collected, and thorough morphological examination indicated that some of these pertained to the species M. dellechiajei, suggesting that populations may be more widespread than previously thought. Because of the rarity of this species coupled with the fact that its last morphological narrative was given 120 years ago, we here provide a redescription of the species based on the new specimens, complete with illustrations and new data concerning its morphology, and we also place some of the collected specimens in a molecular phylogenetic framework.
