MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 18 sh., DW130.

REMARKS

This is the first report of this species after its original description from off NW Morocco in 529 m. It was diagnosed by the occurrence of a spiral sculpture whereas the interspaces between ribs are smooth in the similar Margarites laminarum (Jeffreys, 1883) , described from off Portugal and reported from Ampère Seamount ( Beck et al. 2006). The original generic placement in Margarites was not tenable, and the new genus Toroidia was established by Hoffman & Freiwald (2018), but the family placement is tentative in the absence of data on the soft parts. New to Spanish waters.
