Abstract

ARTICLES
Dentifusus deynzeri, a new genus and species from the Philippines, is characterized by a cord-generated labral tooth, beaded lirae on the inner side of the outer lip, and a smooth columella. Despite the smooth columella, we assign this taxon to the Latirus group of genera in Fasciolariidae. The tooth evolved independently of that in other fasciolariid genera. Genus et species novae. Dentifusus deynzeri.
