Abstract

A new Globivasum species is described from Antigua. Globivasum ananas spec. nov. differs from G. globulus (Lamarck, 1816) from the same general area by a larger, more slender shell with a taller spire, plus a number of other subtle conchological details. The status of the smaller sympatric G. antiguense (Nowell-Usticke, 1969), which was previously synonymized with G. globulus, is reinstated to species rank.
