    ABSTRACT
    Three rare species of Epitoniidae S.S. Berry, 1910 (1812) (Gastropoda) with a predominant Atlantic distribution are reported from the Mediterranean Sea: Epitonium nanum (Jeffreys, 1884), collected from the coralligenous bottoms of the Alboran Sea; Claviscala richardi (Dautzenberg et de Boury, 1897) dredged on a white coral biocoenosis located off the coast of Lazio, Central Tyrrhenian Sea; Cylindriscala mirifica (P. Fischer, 1886) from the bathyal water off Dubrovnik, Croatia, Southern Adriatic Sea. Updated data on the distribution of these epitoniids are provided together with the description of their biocoenosis.

    ABSTRACT
    Based on shell and soft parts characters, a new species of the conoidean gastropod genus Bela Leach in J.E. Gray, 1847 is here described from the Croatian waters. The new taxon, Bela spalatina n. sp., known only from the type locality (Split, Croatia), is compared with the most closely related species, Bela fuscata (Deshayes, 1835). The animal colour pattern, unusual for the genus Bela, allows an easy identification of the new species.
