Abstract
    This paper confirms the presence of Schilderina achatidea (Gray, 1837) from Galicia (N Spain) to Cape Fria (Namibia). It turned outthat it is not possible to differentiate specimens from the W Mediterranean Sea and localities along the West African coast. Except for S. achatidea verdensis Lorenz, 2017, there is no reason to recognize subspecies as oranica Crosse, 1896, inopinata Schilder, 1930 and longinqua Schilder & Schilder, 1938. These so called subspecies refer to areas which are not separated from each other. Molecular analysisis needed to support this statement.
