Abstract
We describe 3 new species of Zaptyx (Prozaptyx) from the Babuyan and Batanes islands, the northernmost region of the Philippines, namely Z. (Prozaptyx) auffenbergi (Camiguin Island), Z. (Prozaptyx) jamesi (Itbayat Island), and Z. (Prozaptyx) thompsoni (Batan and Sabtang islands). Descriptions are based on conchological features, genital anatomy, and radular preparations. We posit that these new species, together with Z. (Prozaptyx) annae Loosjes, 1950 and Z. (Prozaptyx) rehderi Loosjes, 1950, represent a radiation after long-distance dispersal by birds from Japan. The placement of the subgenus Prozaptyx in Zaptyx must be tested using molecular analyses.
