Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) (Mollusca: Muricidae): A new gastropod in south atlantic waters

Rapana venosa (Valenciennes 1846) (Gastropoda: Muricidae), a mollusk native to Eastern Asia, is reported for the first time in Argentine waters in the north of Bahía Samborombón. During a routine bottom sampling, a female specimen of 97.1 and 76.3 mm shell length and width, respectively, and egg cap...
