Cuspidaria cf. rostrata (Spengler, 1793) Fig. 42G‒I Material examined GALICIA BANK • 3 v; 42°37.77′ N, 11°49.46′ W; 818 m; 30 Jul. 2011; BANGAL 0711 V3; MNCN • 4 v; 42°41.94′ N, 11°40.58′ W; 744 m; 31 Jul. 2011; BANGAL 0711 V4; MNCN. Remarks A specimen of this species from GB was figured by Rolán et al. (1990) as Cuspidaria capensis (E.A. Smith, 1885). Specimens from GB have a posterior rostrum shorter than usually seen in Cuspidaria rostrata , and are smaller, resembling in those features Cuspidaria meteoris Krylova, 2006, described from the mid-Atlantic seamount group. However, they do not show the sloping postero-ventral margin characteristic of the latter, and are therefore conservatively identified to the mainland species. : Published as part of Gofas, Serge, Luque, Ángel A., Oliver, Joan Daniel, Templado, José & Serrano, Alberto, 2021, The Mollusca of Galicia Bank (NE Atlantic Ocean), pp. 1-114 in European Journal of Taxonomy 785 (1) on page 87, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.785.1605, http://zenodo.org/record/5798418 : {"references": ["Rolan E., Otero Schmitt J. & Rolan Alvarez E. 1990.
