Teretia megalembryon (Dautzenberg & H. Fischer, 1896) n. comb. (Fig. 23 A-F) Pleurotoma megalembryon Dautzenberg & H. Fischer, 1896: 420, pl. 17 fig. 14. Mangilia sericifila var. strongyla Dall, 1927: 29, n. syn. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 8 sh., DW130. 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. : Published as part of Ortega, José Rafael & Gofas, Serge, 2019, The unknown bathyal of the Canaries: new species and new records of deep-sea Mollusca, pp. 513-551 in Zoosystema 41 (26) on page 540, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2019v41a26, http://zenodo.org/record/3726028 : {"references": ["DALL W.
