Abstract

A new vesicomyid bivalve, Calyptogena solidissima is described from the Minami-Ensei Knoll, west of the Amami-Oshima Island, where hydrothermal vents were discovered. C. solidissima n. sp. is close to C. soyoae in general appearance, but it is characterized in having a robust shell with very fine radiated threads, straight ventral margin and subumbonal pit.
