Haliotis cf. coccinea Reeve, 1843. Santa 

Cruz, Flores (Azevedo & Gofas, 1990: 83). 

Remarks: Nobre (1930) had doubts about 

the specimens of Haliotis coccinea listed 

to the Azores. We also consider this a 

dubious record because, from hundreds of 

living specimens and shells that we have 

seen from almost all the islands, none 

seemed to us like Haliotis coccinea.

Remarks: we were nol able to up-date the 

synonymy of this species. However, 

Reeve (1866), gives this species to 

Galapagos islands, so we consider this to 

be a dubious record.
