Abstract
    Euspira lemaitrei (Knudsen, 1976) was originally described from the Northern Cape, South Africa. Specimens offered in the past decades reveal its presence along West African coasts even as northerly as Mauritania. This species is also known under the junior synonym Euspira massien Petuch & Berschauer, 2018. lt has aften been confused with Euspira fusca (Blainville, 1825), which is a more common sand dweller living from the British lsles in the north to Angola in the south.
