Abstract

Two new species of cancellariids are described from shallow waters of the Brazilian Province.Each has a sister species in the Caribbean Province.Tritonoharpa leali, n. sp.differs from T. lanceolala in having a more inflated and thinner shell, in which the axial costae are more pronounced than the spiral cords.Cancellaria petuchi ii.sp differs from C. reticulata in having a thick, w hite callus on the columellar side of aperture, a broad, rounded shoulder, and a proportionalK longer aperture and larger protoconch than C. reticulata.CaJicclUiria petuclii lacks strongU cancellated sculpture on the bod\ whorl and the bifid posteriormost columellar fold of C. reticulata
