Description

This dataset is from a paper by Emilio Garcia (2004) which is the third part of a study of Indo-Pacific Epitoniidae in which extensions of known geographical ranges of a number of species and the description of new species is reported (Garcia, 2003, Garcia, 2004). The present article deals with epitoniid species placed in the genus Cycloscala Dali, 1889. The material used in these reports was obtained as a result of expeditions by the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD, Nouméa) and the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN, Paris).

All described Indo-Pacific taxa referable to the epitoniid genus Cycloscala Dali, 1889 are listed and evaluated. The type species, Cycloscala echinaticosta (d'Orbigny, 1842) is discussed. Four described Indo-Pacific Cycloscala species, considered valid herewith, are treated: Cycloscala crenulata Pease, 1867; C. gazae Kilbum, 1985; C. hyalina Sowerby II, 1844; and C. revoluta Hedley, 1899.
