Abstract

A new cone species, Cylinder feliciae, is described from the Saleh Gulf (Teluk Saleh) of Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Lesser Sunda Islands), Indonesia. The new species is morphologically similar to Cylinder gloriamaris (Chemnitz, 1777) from the southwestern Pacific and represents a geographically-isolated relict of a once widespread molluscan fauna that extended all along the coast of the Middle Pleistocene Sundaland Peninsula.
