Abstract

We report one newly recorded species of the genus Gemmula (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Turridae) from the offshore waters off Shanwei, Guangdong Province: Gemmula rosario Shikama & Hayashi, 1977. All the specimens were deposited in the Marine Biodiversity Collections of the South China Sea Chinese Academy of Sciences. The shell morphological features of this species were presented, along with its habitat and distribution. Differences between this species and similar species are compared and discussed.
