Abstract
The identity of Archierato maugeriae (Gray in Sowerby I, 1832) comb. nov., A. martinicensis (Schilder, 1933) comb. nov. and A. dalli (Morretes, 1941) comb. nov. from the Western Atlantic as well as of A. galapagensis (Schilder, 1933), A. columbella (Menke, 1847) comb. nov. and A. panamaensis (Carpenter, 1856) comb. nov. from the east Pacific are clarified based on the type specimens. The assignment to the genus Archierato Schilder, 1933 is confirmed. The clarification of the well-known, often misinterpreted taxa results in the description of four new species: Archierato michaelmonti nov. sp., Archierato rhondae nov. sp., Archierato janae nov. sp. and Archierato guadeloupensis nov. sp.
