- Abstract
A new species of the marginellid genus Hyalina is described from Brazil. The new species Hyalina cunhai is compared to four other western Atlantic Hyalina species, including H. avenacea Deshayes, 1844, H. moolenbeeki Espinosa & Ortea, 2012, H. pallida Linnaeus, 1758, H. tenuilabra Tomlin, 1917, and five western Atlantic Volvarina species, including V. adrianadiae Cossignani, 2006, V. affinis Reeve, 1865, V. brasiliana Boyer, 2000, V. frazzinii Cossignani, 2006 and V. lactea Kiener, 1841. When compared to these similar species, H. cunhai varies from them with distinct differences in body shape, spire, lip, and body ornamentation.
