| Mitrella albovittata Lopes, Coelho & Cardoso, 1965, was originally described from Bahia, Salvador, Itapuã (type locality), Alagoas, Maceió and Rio de Janeiro, Cabo Frio. These three localities are all situated on the east coast of Brasil. Recently, it was found in a dredge sample collected near Barbados, off Holetown, at a depth of about 100 m (WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK 1977: station 1442). This locality is situated more than 6000 km northwest of Maceió, the northernmost locality hitherto known. The shells from off Barbados (Figs. 52-54), now in ZMA, are empty and not quite fresh, and may have been washed down from shallower water. They are similar to the the type specimens as described and figured by LOPES et al. (1965) and figured by RIOS (1975: pl. 28... |

| The genus Rissopsetia Dell, 1956 (type species R. maoria Dell, 1956, by orginal designation) is recorded for the first time from the West Indies. An hitherto undescribed species was found in beach-sand from two widely apart localities in the Caribbean Sea. The genus is characterized by small to minute shells, which are thin, sculptured with axial ribs and many spiral lirae. The protoconch is heterostrophic and immersed. Aperture with complete peristome. |

| West Indian molluscs have been studied by the Department of Malacology of the Zoological Museum Amsterdam for many years. Recently new material collected by Brother M. ARNOLDO (A. N. BROEDERS) and Dr. P. WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK became available which was studied by the second author. During 1982 several West Indian islands were visited by the first author, and mollusc samples were taken on the islands Puerto Rico, St. Martin, Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire. Material was collected in various biotopes, from the littoral zone down to about 50 m. Most of the micro-molluscs were sorted out from coral sand. In a sample, taken at 45 m depth off Bonaire, some interesting species were found. In this article we will describe a new species, belonging to a new genus, from... |

| A new genus and species, Hummelinckiella borinquensis n.gen. & n.sp. has been discovered in sediments from shallow water off Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Grand Turk (Turks & Caicos Islands). Because of the striking sculpture of its protoconch, it is placed in a new genus of the subfamily Stephopominae. The only other known western Atlantic member of the Stephopominae is Stephopoma myrakeenae Olsson & McGinty, 1958 recorded from the eastern Caribbean (Leeward Islands), herewith invalidating the “paciphile” status of this species and genus, and casting doubts on the value of the “Blasian Subregion”, indicated by Petuch (1990) as a biogeographical unit. |
