摘要

A new species of Borsoniidae, Bathytoma gordonlarki new species, is described from the Philippines. Specimens were collected in tangle nets in 300-500 m off Balut Island, which is located on the eastern side of the Celebes Sea. The new species is similar to B. boholica, a species collected in the central :Philippines. However, B. gordonlarki has a broader body and a larger spire angle than B. boholica. The discovery of this species is important because it demonstrates that even in areas where the fauna has been studied there remains undiscovered diversity.
