New species of turrid conoideans (Gastropoda: Conoidea) from the Red Sea and Arabia

The following 12 new species are described from the northern Red Sea (Egypt) or the southern Red Sea (Yemen), or from the south coast of Yemen and Oman. Family Drilliidae: Clavus (Tylotiella) glaucozona, C. (T.) infuscatus. Family Turridae, subfamily Crassispirinae: Ptychobela dancei, Crassispira safagaensis. Family Conidae, subfamily Raphitominae: Kermia aegyptiaca; sub-family Clathurellinae: Etrema cratis; subfamily Mangeliinae: Eucithara capillaris, E. villaumeae, E. (s.l.) makadiensis, E. perhumerata, Pseudorhaphitoma uncicostata, P. perplexior. Clavatula fulva Hinds, 1843, a name commonly misapplied to various species of Clavus, is here regarded as a nomen dubium in the genus Paradrillia Makiyama, 1940. Reasons are given for rejecting Pleurotoma mica Philippi, 1850, as a nomen dubium. A syntype of Glyphostoma aliciae var. tenera Hedley, 1899 [= Etrema tenera] is figured for the first time.
