摘要
The genus Eulimetta was previously known only from the eastern Pacific. Here we describe E. atlantica sp. nov, the second species of the genus, from the Brazilian coast based on shell morphology. This new species differs from its congener, E. pagoda Waren, 1992, mainly by the presence of an umbilical fissure and a pointed apex. Further, the expansion of the peripheral keel of E. atlantica is more regular than in E. pagoda. The microsculpture of E. atlantica follows the pattern of E. pagoda.
