Recent collections of living material of the known British species of the family Tergipedidae have enabled a re-evaluation of the significant taxonomic features. Precuthona peachi (Alder et Hancock 1848) is the fully adult form of Cuthona nana (Alder et Hancock, 1842), although there is evidence of geographical divergence in behavior and development processes near the western limit of its range on the North American seaboard. C. pustulata (Alder et Hancock, 1852) possesses a penial stylet. The investigation of abundant European material of C. pustulata and 7 other Cuthona spp. [C. foliata (Forbes et Goodsir), C. viridis (Forbes, 1840), C. caerulea (Montagu, 1804), C. gymnota (Couthouy, 1838), C. amoena (Alder et Hancock, 1845), C. rubescens Picton et Brown, 1978 and C. concinna (Alder et Hancock, 1843)] provides a new basis for interspecific discrimination.
