Columbella minor Scacchi, 1836 is revised in the genus Mitrella Risso, 1826, on the basis of its original description and figure, and of the study of shell material from Mediterranean and the nearby Atlantic. A neotype of C. minor is designated. C. minor takes priority on the older name Mangelia vitrea Risso, 1826 on the basis of the article 23.9 of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The variability of the shell morphology, of the shell decoration and of the animal chromatism is discussed. A sibling species ranging from Alboran Island to Northern Senegal is described as Mitrella hernandezi sp. nov. Its principal diagnostic features lie in a large white pupoid protoconch instead of a small brown pointed one in M. minor, and in a thin lattice-patterned periostracum instead of a thick coarsely wrinckled on in M. minor. 15 pp., 43 figs, gr. 8.…

A new species Olivella (Olivella) arionata is described from shallow waters off southern Brazil. It is recognitable by characters of colour, subsutural bnd, fasciole, and the lack of an operculum. The pillar structure of young forms shows si,ilarities to subgenus Olivina. 1+3 pp., 2+6 figs, 4.

Three new species of the genus Alvania collected in Sao Tom? Island are described. The new species are compared with others of similar morphology from the African coast. Some characters, usually considered typical of the genus Manzonia are commented on; these appear in some species here included in the genus Alvania. The latter genus probably constitutes a kind of catchall for many other valid genera that are at present inadequately defined. 10 pp., 23 figs, gr. 8.…
