Abstract

A well-preserved muricid gastropod fauna is described from Wonosari, Gunung Kidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia. In the Muricinae subfamily, six species of Chicoreus are recorded, of which three species and one subspecies are new: C. (Triplex) javanus spec. nov., C. (T.) solidus spec. nov., C. (T.) martini spec. nov., C. (T.) altenai dekkersi subspec. nov., C. (T.) juttingae (Beets, 1841) and C. (Rhizophorimurex) cf. capucinus (Lamarck, 1822). A new species of Chicomurex is described: C. parvus spec. nov. Vokesimurex wanneri (Martin, 1916) is also recorded and a lectotype is designated herein for this species previously recorded from the early Miocene of Central Java. In the subfamily Aspellinae, Dermomurex (s.s.) wanneri nom. nov. is proposed for Murex acuticostatus Wanner & Hahn, 1935 (not Murex acuticostatus Gümbel, 1861), originally described from the early-middle Miocene of Central Java (Indonesia) and also found in Wonosari.

Abstract

A new species of Chicoreus (Triplex) is described from the Sudan in the Red Sea. It is compared with three closely related, allopatric species from the Red Sea: C. (T.) corruga­tus (G.B. Sowerby ii, 1841); C. (T.) ethiopius Vokes, 1978; and C. (T.) teva Houart & Lorenz, 2016, as well as with C. (T.) strigatus (Reeve, 1849) and C. (T.) paini Houart, 1983 from the Indo-West Pacific. Chicoreus (Triplex) corrugatus ethio­pius is here given the status of a valid species.
