| Abstract |
Two new species of the family Muricidac are described from Nazareth Bank and the Cargados Carajos Shoals, in the western Indian Ocean. Haustellum lorenzi n. sp. from Nazareth Bank is obviously different from any other known Haustellum species. Chicoreus (Triplex) jamae n. sp. from the Cargaclos Carajos Shoals is compared with a few other species but differs mainly in having tabulate teleoconch whorls and a relatively narrow and long siphonal canal. |
