Abstract
    Cypraeovula castanea malani n. ssp. is described from the Cape Agulhas area. It is characterized by reduced size, fewer labral teeth, a steep fossula and short to reduced columellar teeth. It is conchologically intermediate between Cypraeovula castanea castanea HIGGINS, 1868 and Cypraeovula iutsui atlantica RAWKVOX, 1988.
