Abstract

This paper describes a new species of Nassarius from the South China Sea, which was recognized when re-sorting the collection of Nassariidae in the Marine Biological Museum, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, China. The shells were collected during several investigations, including the National Comprehensive Oceanic Survey in 1958–1959, and the China-Vietnam Co-Investigation on Marine Resource of the Beibu Gulf during 1959–1962. The morphology of the shell and the radula places the new species of Nassarius within the subgenus Zeuxis. It is named Nassarius (Zeuxis) nanhaiensis sp. nov.
