Sci., 23 / 1 2022, 14 - 24 Etymology: the species is dedicated to R / V “ Angeles Alvariño ”, the captain and crew of this research vessel as well as the scientific party of the CIRCAESAL 0721 expedition, with a particular mention for the ROV pilots who made possible the collection of the living specimens (see Acknowledgements section). Description of the holotype: Shell medium sized (20.4 mm), fusiform with last whorl 63 % of total height in apertural view. Protoconch multispiral, with a little more than 3 smooth, slightly convex whorls, with a diameter of 0.8 mm at contact with teleoconch; whitish in colour. Teleoconch of nearly 6 whorls. Spire whorls slightly convex, with a deeply incised suture; early spire whorls incised by narrow spiral grooves (6 on second teleoconch whorl, 8 less distinct on fourth, ca 10 very slight on penultimate whorl above the insertion of outer lip). Spiral grooves with regularly spaced punctures along the grooves until the 4 th whorl, becoming less conspicuous on the two last Medit. Mar. Sci., 23 / 1 2022, 14 - 24 whorls, indistinct on the last whorl. No axial sculpture except for growth lines. Last whorl with maximum convexity above mid-whorl, with nearly straight or slightly concave profile towards the abapical part; no definite fasciole around siphonal canal. Aperture elongate, with outer lip definitely bent at its insertion on the preceding whorl, then with very slightly convex profile in apertural view; adapical sinus indistinct. Parietal and columellar callus thin, continuous, sharply delimited, appressed. Columella with three definite, oblique columellar folds, blunt, the abapical one weaker, and a hardly visible fourth fold abapically to these. Outer lip not thickened but with a rounded edge. Siphonal canal moderately short, moderately wide, straight with incised siphonal notch. Colour of teleoconch uniformly tawny. Living animal with a pure white head-foot and some opaque white blotches over the siphon. 17	en	Caballero-Herrera, José Antonio, Gofas, Serge, Rueda, José Luis (2022): Episcomitra angelesae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Mitridae), a new species from an exceptional deep habitat in the Alboran Sea Abstract.
