Hemicycla eurythyra O. Boettger 1908, endemic to Tener!fe, was rediscovered near its type locality. It is redescribed and compared with two conchologically similar taxa: H. pouchet (A. Férussac 1821) and H. pouchadan Ibáñez & Alonso 2007. H. eurythyra is grouped in the subgenus Hemicycla s. str. by the presence of a diverticulum in the bursa copulatrix complex.
