Abstract
We describe a new species of the genus Acanthochitona Bergenhayn, 1930 from a group of small chitons inhabiting shallow waters of the South China Sea and near the Ryukyu Islands. The new species differs from others in this group in the presence of slightly flattened dorsal corpuscles with a narrow crest apically.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
