Abstract
    Seven new muricine records are added to that for the Lower Miocene Cantaure Formation of Venezuela, four of which are new: Siratus harzhauseri nov. sp. Ocenebra etteri nov. sp., Typhina canaliculata nov. sp. and Laevityphis jungi nov. sp., and three are identified to genus level Phyllonotus sp. cf. P. infrequens (Vokes, 1963), Purpurellus sp. cf. P. repetiti (Vokes, 1970) and Vitularia sp. cf. V. salebrosa (King & Broderip, 1832). The genus Ocenebra is recorded in the western Atlantic for the first time.
