  ABSTRACT
  Pusia (Ebenomitra) angeloamatii, a new species of the genus Pusia Swainson, 1840 (Gastropoda Costellariidae), is described based on empty shells from the coasts of southern Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean Sea). It is compared with other species of the genus. Uromitra hypatiae Pallary, 1912 (currently Vexillum hypatiae) is transferred to Pusia based on characters of shell morphology (Pusia hypatiae comb. nov.).
