Abstract

Two new species of Naticidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda), distributed in South China Sea, were recognized and classified morphologically in this paper, and the internal anatomy on radula was described based on the mollusk collection of the Marine Biological Museum, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Natica maxiutongi sp. nov. was found in sandy bottom from intertidal zone to shallow water near Lingshui and Li’an, Hainan Island, with maroon or brown shell, white base, and 3—4 dark-brown or light color banded body whorl. Sinum nanhaiensis sp. nov. was collected in mud-sandy bottom of shallow waters about 100 m depth offcoast in Guangdong and Nansha Islands, with small and elliptical shell in color of yellow-brown or white. The new species are described and comparison with similar species are conducted and discussed.
