GENUS CAMACHOAGLAJA GEN. NOV.

( FIGS 3C, 5J; TABLES 1 AND 2)

Type species: Chelidonura africana Pruvot-Fol, 1953 . By subsequent designation.

Diagnosis: Live animals up to 10 mm in length. Body elongate, blunt, flat; cephalic and posterior shields nearly equal in length; anterior edge of cephalic shield bilobed, lobes rounded; posterior shield with two asymmetrical caudal lobes, right one minute, rounded, left triangular ( Fig. 3C). Shell calcified, white or translucent, apex with external fringe, projections at protoconch level (probably an autapomorphy) ( Fig. 5J). Buccal bulb reduced; penial papilla conical, with two frontal lobes; prostate cylindrical, not bifurcated, longer than penis ( Martínez et al., 2002).

Type locality: Tenerife Island , Canary Islands, Spain, after neotype designation .

Etymology: This genus is named after Yolanda Camacho-García for her studies on the phylogeny of Aglajidae gastropods and for being the first to reveal the existence of this clade of exclusively Atlantic species.
