Laophontina posidoniae n.sp. found in the Posidonia meadows of the Gulf of Calvi (Corsica) is described. L. posidoniae n.sp. is closely related to L. dubia T. Scott and L. paradubia Cottarelli. In the Gulf of Calvi Posidonia beds occur along the entire coast on a particular bottom facies. The new species, found in the sediments covered by Posidonia oceanica, occurs only in sediments containing less than 10% mud.
