Abstract
    The frequency of the pseudohermaphroditism is analysed in 589 individuals of 5 prosobranch species of the Bay of Morlaix (namely Roscoff) and of the French coast of the Channel (Port-en-Bessin, Coutainville, Granville). The pseudohermaphroditism is demonstrated for the first time in Hinia (Nassarius) incrassata and confirmed for Roscoff in Nucella lapillus, Ocenebra erinacea, Buccinum undatum and Hinia (Nassarius) reticulata. Six different morphological types are distinguished and the differences of the species are described; the appearance of pseudohermaphroditic without a penis, but with a vas deferens of a various length is presented for the first time. The accentuated occurrence of the pseudohermaphroditism in marinas and ports, already known by the literature, is confirmed as well in respect to the percentual frequence as to the intensity of morphological expression.
