Abstract | Three subfamilies are recognised : Asthelysinae new subfamily, Seguenziinae Verrill, and Guttulinae Goryachev. Two tribes are recognised in Seguenziinae. Fifty five seguenziids are newly recorded from off New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands, of which 50 are new to science. These species are referable to 13 genera, including 2 new genera and Anxietas Iredale, which is transferred from Trochidae. Asthelys nitidula sp. nov. is based on type material from Queensland. Jaw plates and lateromarginal radular plates are recorded for the first time in the family. Seguenziid species richness and western Pacific biogeography are briefly discussed. |
