Abstract (EN): As a result of a more wide project guided to characterize the interstitial fauna of the Galician coasts (NW Iberian Peninsula), we present in this work six species of polychaetous annelids from the intertidal area of this coast. Microphthalmus listensis Westheide, 1967, Protodrilus purpureus (Schneider, 1868) and Protodriloides symbioticus (Giard, 1904) are recorded for the first time in the littoral of the Iberian Peninsula and Microphthalmus similis Bobretzky, 1870 is mentioned for the first time in the Galician coasts. Also, two species are mentioned for the first time in the intertidal zone: Eulalia venusta Saint-Joseph, 1888 and Raphidrilus nemasoma Monticelli, 1910. Their biotope and geographical distribution are discussed and compared with data from the literature.
