Members of the family Epitonidae are small to medium in size, difficult to identify and most complicated among gastropods and occurring from the lower inter tidal zone to abyssal sea beds (Nakayama, 2003). The described shells are bold with minute sculptures, and most species recorded from the west coast of India, are known from empty shells. Their hosts being unknown, the differences between species are often slight, so their identification is often a matter for the specialists. Morphological characters are reckoned for confirmation up to species level and The species which are documented here are all new records from India, being previously not known from literature.Full Text

During the course of our regular faunistic surveys along Indian coast we have made collections from Gujarat, Sundarbans in West Bengal and from Kakinada Bay in Andhra Pradesh. After identification of the mollusc collections from these localities we have found that two gastropods species, namely Salinator fragilis (Lamarck), and Pseudonoba columen (Melvill) are new records. The first mentioned is a new record from India and the later is a new record for Gujarat as well as from India. This is a significant finding and we give below a systematic description of the two species.Full Text

In this article most of the species are very minute, tiny and difficult to identify but bold with minute sculptures which are collected and dredged from the deep sea shell sand along the coast of Karnataka mainly from West Coast of India.Full Text

The most important characteristic feature of the buccal cavity in Mollusca (except Bivalves) is the presence of radula, one of the hallmarks of the phylum (Purchon, 1977). It is a chitinous ribbon bearing many transverse rows of firmly fixed teeth. Each row of teeth on the radula normally repeats precisely the number and shape of the teeth in the rows in front of it and behind. The radular teeth are usually in odd numbers because the row consists of a single tooth centrally placed, which is a central or rachidian teeth, with a series of others on either side broadly known as lateral teeth. The shapes of radular teeth are important for determining the effectiveness of the radula as a tool for feeding (Padilla, 1989).Full Text
