Résumé :	Three new species are described: Runcina hornae n. sp. is elongated rectangular and all over orange with a discontinuous white cross-band behind the eyes; R. rotunda n. sp. is plump and black with white spots bordering weakly notum and foot and densely the tail; R. elongata n. sp. is very slim and middle brown with a dark brown granulation, some larger dark brown spots on the head and a clear tail. An account is given of R. coronata (Quatrefages, 1844); R. adriatica Thompson, 1980; R. africana Pruvot-Fol, 1953; R. brenkoae Thompson, 1980; and R. ferruginea Kress, 1977; with further details on live coloration, radula and jaws by SEM. For the first time R. coronata is redescribed from the locus typicus, the Bretagne (France), since its original description. A synopsis of the world's Runcinacea is given.
