| Summary: | Based on newly designated type material, four poorly known NE Atlantic cheilostome bryozoan species are redescribed and imaged: <em>Cellaria harmelini</em> d’Hondt from the northern Bay of Biscay, <em>Hippomenella mucronelliformis</em> (Waters) from Madeira, <em>Myriapora bugei</em> d’Hondt from the Azores, and <em>Characodoma strangulatum</em>, occurring from Mauritania to southern Portugal. Moreover, <em>Notoplites saojorgensis</em> sp. nov. from the Azores, formerly reported as <em>Notoplites marsupiatus</em> (Jullien), is newly described. The genus <em>Hippomenella</em> Canu & Bassler is transferred from the lepraliomorph family Escharinidae Tilbrook to the umbonulomorph family Romancheinidae Jullien.
