Abstract
Nine species are reported, seven of which are new to the fauna of the Faroes: Cephalotrix rufifrons, Lineus viridis, L. socialis, L. bilineatus, Tetrastemma laminariae, T. candidum, and Oerstedia dorsalis. The remaining two species, previously reported from the Faroes, are Lineus ruber and Emplectonema neesii. The geographical distribution of the species is discussed, and in many cases found to be presumably incorrectly recorded because of incomplete descriptions and difficulties in allocating observed animals to particular species.
