Abstract	Bathymodiolus mauritanicus n. sp. est decrite et placee dans le contexte du genre Bathymodiolus Kenk & Wilson, 1985. L'espece a ete recoltee par un chalutier commercial au large du Banc d'Arguin, nord de la Mauritanie, a une profondeur d'environ 1 000 m. Aucun suintement froid ou d'hydrocarbure n'a ete detecte dans cette region, mais la recolte reguliere d'autres mollusques habitant ce type d'environnement dans le meme endroit suggere l'existence de telles sources. L'espece nouvelle appartient a un groupe uniforme et bien defini de moules bathymodiolines, denomme groupe de Bathymodiolus childressi, et comprenant quatre especes. Ce groupe se distingue des autres Bathymodiolus connus par plusieurs caracteres de la coquille et des parties molles, principalement le retracteur posterieur a nombreux faisceaux, la position a peu pres terminale des umbos et le retracteur anterieur fixe dans la partie posterieure de la cavite umbonale. Finalement, la plupart des autres especes de Bathymodiolus peuvent etre reunies dans quatre groupes assez homogenes: 1) le groupe de B. thermophilus (une espece, Pacifique Est seulement: Galapagos, Dorsale Est-Pacifique); 2) le groupe de B. brevior (cinq especes, Atlantique: Ride Medio-Atlantique, Pacifique Ouest, ocean Indien); 3) le groupe de B. heckerae (deux especes, Atlantique); et 4) le groupe de B. childressi (quatre especes, Atlantique, Pacifique Ouest).
