Abstract

An unusual new genus and species of chiton, Boreacanthus griphus n. g. &n. sp. isdescribed from the shallow subtidal depths of the central Aleutian Islands, and is tentatively placed in the family Mopaliidae Dall, 1889. The tail valve of the new taxon has a caudal sinus typical of the family Mopaliidae, but differs from all other known members of Mopaliidae in possessing pustulose tegmental sculpture and spike-like, calcareous girdle elements.
