Description

A pyramidellid species which is ectoparasitic on a trochid snail Umbonium (Suchium) moniliferum (Lamarck, 1822) in Tomioka Bay, Western Kyushu, has been reported by several authors as "Odostomia desimana" or "Odostomia sp.". Since detailed morphological investigation on this species revealed that it is neither Odostomia desimana Dall & Bartsch, 1906 nor any of hitherto known species, this is described as a new species Boonea umboniocola. Main conchological differences of this new species from many of the other similar species in the Indo-West Pacific area are, tall and long ovate shell, multiple numbers of whorls, and less constricted sutures.
