Twelve species of Favartia Jousseaume, 1880 from the Indo-West Pacific are discussed and illustrated. Three additional species are described as new: Favartia bractea spec. nov. from southern Madagascar with occurrences in South Africa and Reunion, Favartia aporema spec. nov. from Mozambique and Favartia pseudosalmonea spec. nov. from Western Australia, a species that has long been identified as Favartia salmonea (Melvill & Standen, 1899). The new species are compared with related species, all of them illustrated in this paper. Favartia dorothyae Emerson & D'Attilio, 1979 is synonymised with F. salmonea (Melvill & Standen, 1899) (new synonymy) and a lectotype is selected for F. salmonea. Another lectotype is selected for Murex nucula (Reeve, 1845). The illustration of F. natalensis (E.A. Smith, 1906) by Fair as the lectotype is accepted as valid and the illustration of F sykesi (Preston, 1904) as holotype by the same author is also considered as a valid lectotype designation.
