As a result of surveys carried out in two areas of the Portuguese western coast (Berlengas Islands and Arrdbida coast) designed to collect opisrhobranch molluscs, using SCUBA diving during the years 1992-1998, the authors present new clataon 12 species ofOpisthobranchs (1 Notaspidean and 11 Nudibranchs) which turned out to be interesring additions to the local fauna. Comments concerning their morphology, habitat and disrribution are included.
