AB  - The type material and original descriptions of 126 nominal species from the Northeast Atlantic originally described as belonging to <i>Harmothoe</i> Kinberg, 1856 or later referred to this genus were examined. Of these species, only 28 are considered to be valid, i.e. less than 25 %, the others being either junior synonyms, indeterminable, invalid, or referred to other genera. The valid species are described and figured, including two new species, <i>H. fernandi</i> n. sp. and <i>H. mariannae</i> n. sp. For <i>H. extenuata</i> (Grube, 1840), <i>H. imbricata</i> (Linnaeus, 1767), and <i>H. impar</i> (Johnston, 1839), neotypes are designated, since their type material is lost and their original descriptions are insufficient. <i>Harmothoe aequespina</i> (Langerhans, 1884) and <i>H. clavigera</i> (M. Sars, 1863) represent new combinations. An illustrated identification key to all valid Harmothoe species of the region is given.
