摘要

Abstract

Specimens of a new species of Cerithiidae

Cerithium mangrovum n. sp.

were collected during two surveys along the coasts of Hainan and Guangdong Province

China. Usually associated with potamidid snails

this species often occurs in large populations between the mid-high tidal zones in a range of habitats

including mangroves

grass beds

silt

mud

and coral reefs. C. mangrovum n. sp. has a slender and tapering shell and the straight-sided whorl bears three aligned beaded spiral cords. The thick outer lip has a wide posterior sinus. It morphologically resembles C. coralium Kiener

1841. The shell of C. coralium is usually larger and wider and the spiral cords are not as beaded as in C. mangrovum n. sp. Its radula has a rachidian tooth with a shallow

wide

median basal projection while the rachidian tooth of C. mangrovum n. sp. has a moderately long

median basal projection.
