Abstract

A new species of Abyssochrysos, A. xouthos n. sp. is described from south-west Oman in the northern Arabian Sea at a depth of 3150 metres. This represents the first record of this genus from the northern Indian Ocean. Of the five previously described extant species of Abyssochrysos A. xouthos is most similar to A. melanioides from which it differs in radular and shell characters.
