A new species, Saccocirrus goodrichi, is described from Amphioxus sands of the Gulf of Naples. The species lives in sediments together with S. papillocercus and, for a long time, there has been a confusion between the two species. By the morphology of the chaetae, the presence of a pharyngeal bulb and the unilateral location of the ovaries, the new species belongs to the Indo-Pacific "krusadensis group", different from the "papillocercus group" that has a world wide distribution. On the other hand, scanning electron micrographs are given for the first time on the chaetae of S. papillocercus and S. major, two common Mediterranean species.
