| Abstract |
A new genus and 6 new species belonging to the family Vitrinellidae (Caenogastropoda: Truncatelloidea) are described. The species studied are from the southeastern tropical Pacific and were collected during the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos expeditions conducted by IRD and MNHN in New Caledonia, the Marquesas Islands, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines. The new genus Collatus is based on unique morphological features that are present in the six newly described species; their systematic position is discussed and the new genus is compared with other generapresenting similar morphological characteristics. Each species is illustrated by scanning electron microscope photographs; their specific variability is discussed and information on their habitat, geographical distribution and bathymetric range is provided. |
