Abstract

A new ovulid species, Primovula oryza, is described from off the Kii Peninsula, the Kurose bank near Hachijo-jima Island in the Izu-shichito Islands, and Tatsumi-dashi in the Ogasawara Islands, all in Japan. It is most similar to Primovula dorsuosa (Hinds, 1844) in morphology, but it can be distinguished by non-crenulate anterior extremity, beaked posterior extremity, and different line marking on the dorsum. In addition to this description, Dentiovula colobica Azuma & Gate, 1971 is designated as the type species of the genus Dentiovula.
