Sumario:Morphological study on the siphonal spines of the Genus Ili<.ro(.o.~tniis from the Spanish Mediterranean shores The morphology of the siphonal spines of the seven Mic.ro(.o.\t?~i~.\ species present in the Spanish Mediterranean shores is studied by scanning electron microscope. Their shape varies between scale-shaped and needle-shaped. For their intraspecific constancy and their readiness of observation. these spines can be used as a iisefu1 character in the classification of these species. They are specially helpful in the differentiation of some species of very similar externa1 and interna1 appearance. such as M. i,rilgciri.\!,M. s<rhtrtii,ri or M. cloirdi(~<ins!M. str~igtrx
