dct:abstract

A recently discovered species of the genus Eratoena Iredale, 1935 from Tuamotu, French Polynesia is described as Eratoena gourgueti spec. nov. The new species is thoroughly compared with its congener Eratoena schmeltziana (Crosse, 1867) and other similar species like Erafoena corrugata (Hinds, 1844). The new species is distinguished by its slender, almost cylindrical shell, the fine dentition and the protruded fossular margin. Some remarks concerning the identification of Eratoidae in general are given. Eratoidae are marine prosobranch gastropods that are closely related to the Triviidae but differ from the latter by their shell morphology. Their shell shape is marginellid-like but lacks columellar folds.
