Capedopcten anellus gen. et spec. nov. is introduced from the upper beds of the Antwerp Sands, Berchem Formation (Miocene, Hemmoorian, Oxlundian) in the Antwerp city area. The material was collected some 20 years ago from temporary exposures during the construction of the E3 ‘Kleine Ring’ motorway and an underground parking. The new taxon closely resembles the well-known species Korobkovia woodi (Nyst), but it is easily distinguished by morphological details.
