Abstract: This short note records two species of Pcynogonida. The first is of the genus Nymphon, and believed by the author to be not previously described. This however is determined to be untrue at a later date (Ir. Nat. 1(8)168) and the species is found to be N. gallicum, Hoek. The second is of Phoxichilus spinosus, where a number of specimens were found on seaweed thrown ashore at the North Bull, Dublin Bay after violent southeast gales. This is believed to be the first recording from Irish waters.
