| - Ten new species of Terebridae are described based on shell morphology, including protoconchs: Profunditerebra profunda sp. nov. (Fiji, 145-360 m), P. makassarensis sp. nov. (Indonesia, 25-49 m), P. lunagena sp. nov. (Marquesas, 150-350 m), Myurella barazeri sp. nov. (Austral Is, 50-140 m), M. morrisoni sp. nov. (Marquesas, 10-150 m), M. rapaensis sp. nov. (Austral Is, 120-140 m), M. lorenzi sp. nov. (Marquesas, 20-30 m), Oxymeris soligena sp. nov. (Marquesas and Society Is, 45-150 m), Pellifronia maremontana sp. nov. (Tonga, 280-580 m) and Punctotere bra saitoi sp. nov. (Austral Is, 50-140 m). Their discovery emphasizes that, contrary to conventional wisdom, numerous new species of Terebridae are still awaiting discovery at offshore depths and/or in biogeographically peripheral areas.
