Descriptions and diagnoses are given for Laminatubus alvini gen. et sp.n. and Proric hydrothermica sp.n. Both species have been collected by submersibles ( Alvin and Cyana ) in four areas with hydrothermal activity on the Galapagos Ridge and on the East Pacific Risc (approx. 1°N, 10°N. 13°N and 21°N), at depths of about 2500–2600 m. The microstructure of the tube walls has been analysed and is illustrated by SEM micrographs.
