Abstract
Based on the material deposited in the Marine Biological Museum of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, the present paper reports 26 turrid species, which belong respectively to three genera of the subfamily Turrinae, including four new species, Gemmula grandigyrata sp. nov., Gemmula flata sp. nov., Lophiotoma pseudocosmoi sp. nov., and L. verticala sp. nov., and four species newly recorded from the China seas. Gemmula grandigyrata sp. nov. is peculiar in the genus in having a large conical protoconch of six whorls; Gemmula flata sp. nov. is similar to the “martini series Powell, 1964” in the shell profile, but can be easily separated from the species of this series by the shell sculpture; Lophiotoma pseudocosmoi sp. nov. differs from the close species of the genus Lophiotoma and a similar species of the genus Gemmula, G. cosmoi (Sykes, 1930), by the peripheral carina and the shell height; Lophiotoma verticala sp. nov looks like a species of genus Fusiturris, F. undatiruga (Bivona, 1832), but differs from the latter by the stronger axial fold, less conspicuous spiral folds, stronger peripheral carina and deeper sinus.References
