Abstract

A new carditid species of subfamily Carditamerinae, Centrocardita alticostata n. sp., with elevated radial ribs, is described from a sandy gravel bottom at 140 m depth, off Chichi-jima in the Ogasawara Islands, Japan. This is the first record of this genus from the isolated Ogasawara Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
