Abstract

A new vesicomyid species, Calyptogena (Abyssogena) mariana, is described from a depth of 5620 m in the Mariana Trench. It is close to C. (A.) kaikoi Okutani & Métivier, 1986 and C. (A.) southwardae Krylova, Sahling & Janssen, 2010 but separable from them in slight differences of cardinal configuration and also by means of molecular analyses.
