Description

A gastropod collected in 1720 m depth at the foot of the Galicia Bank is described as a new species in the genus Aforia (Cochlespiridae). The family placement is supported by the characters of the radula. The disjunct distribution (Northern Pacific, Antarctic and subantarctic areas, and here NE Atlantic) of species currently assigned to the genus Aforia is discussed.
