Abstract

The genus Neodilatilabrum contains taxa that are both morphologically stable across their ranges, while others are highly plastic, making the choice of discerning characteristics critical to achieving taxonomic stability. A new species of Neodilatilabrum from Japan is presented here. Neodilatilabrum tasminae n. sp. lacks the axial shoulder rib on the body whorl found in N. robustum and N. sowerbyorum. The angulate shoulders of N. succinctum differentiate that taxon from N. tasminae. Neodilatilabrum simanoki is placed within the synonymy of N. sowerbyorum, and N. boucheti is placed under the synonymy of N. robustum. This revision provides the basis from which more detailed studies into the complex variability of species, both locally and across their ranges, to be undertaken.
