Abstract
The examination of six specimens of a most peculiar sinistral turrid species from Taiwan housed at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle Paris (MNHN) led us to the recognition of a new species. These specimens resemble members of the Oenopotinae Bogdanov, 1987 recently placed in the Mangeliidae P. Fischer, 1883 (Bouchet et al., 2011; Puillandre et al., 2011).References
