Material examined. Gulf of Aden: south off Yemen, trawled by fishermen, 100 m, ldd, KF-1461. Mozambique: trawled by fishermen, deep water, 3 dd, KF-0729.
South Africa: Natal: off Durban, trawled by fishermen, deep water, 1 lv, KF-2634. - off Zululand, trawled by fishermen, deep water, 4dd, KF-4247.
Range and habitat. Eastern Africa. Known from the Gulf of Aden in the north, along Mozambique, to South Africa in the south.
Remarks. Kanamarua boswellae comb. nov. is characterized by a thick, heavy shell sculptured with fine spiral grooves which are characteristic for Kanamarua, glossy and smooth protoconch whorls and a thick outer lip with apertural denticles inside. The peculiar pattern consists of 3 broad bands of rather rectangular reddish brown blotches on a flesh coloured background., giving the shell the appearance of Metula.
