- Abstract
A new species of Sciteconus dredged at a depth of 110m from Coffee Bay in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is described. The shell morphological features of the species with in the subgenus Sciteconus are similar with only minor differences in the coloration of individual specimens. Sciteconus cofeebayensis n. sp. has an off-white background color with orange-brown spiraling lines that are broken. The center band is broad, consisting of large orange-brown markings alternated by off-white coloration. The basal part has a darker brown coloration around the body-whorl. The new species is also compared to two Sciteconus species from Port Alfred.
