Abstract | During the MUSORSTOM 3, Philippines Expedition (1985), eight species of chitons have been collected, of which 5 had not been found by the MUSORSTOM 1 (1976) or 2 (1980) cruises. Two new species are present, viz. Lepidozona ferreirai Kaas & Van Belle, 1987 (described separately in "Monograph of Living Chitons", vol. 3) and Chiton (Tegulaplax) boucheti sp. nov., the second species known in the subgenus. |
