Philine aquila sp. nov. is described from the Miocene (Hemmoorian, Oxlundian; Breda Formation, Aalten Member, Miste Bed) of Winterswijk (Miste), The Netherlands (Gelderland province). The shell of the new species closely resembles that of the Pliocene to Recent P. scabra (Müller, 1776), P. sagra (d’Orbigny, 1841) and P. sp. 1 De Jong & Coomans, 1988, but differs in details of shape and sculpture.
