Sometimes relevant
literature appears in journals were you don’t expect
it. In the last number of Visaya - a journal nearly
exclusively devoted to marine shells - a paper was
published describing new taxa from the Dominican
Republic.
G.T. Watters, a well-known specialist on Annulariidae, describes the following taxa:
Abbottella (Abbottella) aenea n.sp., type locality Dominican Republic, Prov. La Altagracia, Punta Cana. Holotype UF 434777.
Leiabbottella n.gen., type species Leiabbottella galaxius Watters, 2010.
Leiabbottella galaxius n.sp., type locality Dominican Republic, Prov. Samaná, along Route 5 between Santa Bárbara de Samaná and Sánchez. Holotype UF 434779.
Left: A. (A.) aenea; right: L. galaxius.
