Bunodes biscayensis Fischer, 1874, a species of Actiniaria described from Moulleau, Arcachon,
south-western coast of France, and never recorded since, was rediscovered in July 1985 and found
again in 1986 and 1987 in several localities along the French "Cote Basque" between the mouth of
the river Adour and St. Jean-de-Luz. The species is here redescribed and referred to Bunodosoma
Verrill, 1899, a genus of tropical and subtropical Atlantic and West-American intertidal and
shallow water forms, hitherto not recorded from the Mediterranean and/or the Atlantic coast of
Europe. Speculations are advanced as to the possible further distribution of B. biscayensis. A
discussion is added concerning the morphological terms verruca and vesicle. The study is com-
pleted with an updated generic diagnosis of Bunodosoma.
