Popis
Holotype (MNHN-IM-2000-35023) dim. 3.29 x 1.15 mm. Protoconch 0.34 0.20 mm. stn GM11.
TYPE LOCALITY Caribbean: Guadeloupe, stn GM11, platier de l'Îlet à Cabrit, 1 m.
DISTRIBUTION Guadeloupe. MATERIAL EXAMINED Station of Guadeloupe: stn GM11, platier de l'Îlet à Cabrit, 1 m, spm 1.
DESCRIPTION Shell medium in size, conical, inflated, sutures impressed. Protoconch conical of 3.5 smooth convex whorls, color whitish, opaque. Teleoconch of 6.5 whorls with reticulate sculpture of 3 equal spiral cords crossed by weaker axial ribs, about 20 on last whorl; beads at each intersection. A fourth beaded cord is emerging at the base of the last whorl from the insertion of the outer lip; border between columella and base highlighted by a weak cord. Columella short and broad, obliquely truncated, with a surface crossed by thin crisp threads, columellar cal- lus bordering a sub-circular aperture; anal sulcus and siphonal canal well defined. Background color whitish, semitransparent; in last whorls 1st spiral cord and columella light orange. COMPARISON Cerithiopsis cabritensis n. sp. is compared with Cerithiopsis gemmulosa (C. B. Adams, 1850) from the West Indies and Brazil, having a rather similar shape and protoconch but a different size and color. ETYMOLOGY Cabritensis after the type locality.
