Cultellus combieri off the Atlantic coast of Morocco is redescribed. The diagnosis was established by Fisher-Piette and Nickles (1946) on a single example from Senegal. The northern limit (3020'N) of the distribution area is closely related to the presence of the upwelling. The occurrence of studied specimens is restricted to a sublittoral area in which a warm water-mass (16-22 C) remains wedged all the year round.
