Abstract
    Pictures by Prashad (1932) of Acesta celebensis (P. Bartsch, 1913) have created a lot of confusion in the last century. A better photograph of the juvenile A. celebensis specimen from Bartsch was given by Marshall (2001), together with another enigmatic juvenilespecimen from ZMA, labelled as Acesta sp. aff. celebensis and called Acesta sp.1 by Huber (2015). Similar juvenile shells and two adultspecimens have been found at the MNHN. They are described as A. gabrieli nov sp. in the present paper.
