discussion
REMARKS Apart from being slightly larger, we cannot see any speciesspecific difference between the syntype of Teretia strongyla figured by Horro & Rolán (2017: 147), the Azorean type specimen of Pleurotomella megalembryon figured by Dautzenberg & H. Fischer (1896) and our material and therefore consider these as synonyms. This is therefore another amphiatlantic species, recorded from off Georgia (Dall 1927), the Azores (Dautzenberg & Fischer 1896) and the northern part of Bay of Biscay (Bouchet & Warén 1980), and new to Spanish waters.
