摘要

A new shallow water species of the genus Philine Ascanius, 1772 is described from the coastal lagoons of the Bay of Buche, Venezuela. This species is characterized by the color pattern of its body, yellowish with white dots, the cephalic shield, as long as the posterior shield, the internal shell with the rear posterior edge not surpassing the apex and the sculpture composed of 6 to 18 striking spiral lines, the innermost lateral teeth of the radula, bearing 10-19 denticles in the masticatory margin and by lacking gizzard plates. Philine buchensis new species is compared with all the species of the genus known to date in the Caribbean, particularly withthose from coastal areas (0-10m): Philine sagra (d'Orbigny, 1841) and Philine caballeri Ortea, Espinosa & Moro, 2001.
