Mantle typically with caudal asymmetrical lobes. Gizzard plates absent. Radula typically absent; when present, radular formula 1:0:1 or 2:1:0:1:2; inner laterals bearing one or two large or many small denticles on inner border.

    GENUS AGLAONA GEN. NOV. Z o o b a n k r e g i s t r a t i o n: u r n: l s i d: z o o b a n k. org:act: 05553D3C-3DCF-4F61-B91B-952A8E62F268 Type species: Aglaona rudmani sp. nov. Diagnosis: Headshield and posterior shield without posterior lobes. Parapodia small. Foot short, extending to half of shell length. Posterior end of posterior shield angulated or truncated. Shell internal, bulloid, oval, up to 4.0 mm in length, apex obtuse, spire partly visible; spiral sculpture with chains of narrow pits; parietal callus wing-like. Gizzard plates absent; radula 2:1:0:1:2; laterals bearing numerous small denticles on internal border. Copulatory system with short prostate; large, conical, penial papilla armed with a small, triangular chitinous plate or a large, chitinous multicusped stylet. Yellow gland and sensory bristles not detected. The new genus includes two new species: Aglaona rudmani sp. nov. and A. valdesi sp. nov.. Comparison: The new genus differs from all described genera of the family Aglajidae by the presence of an internal and well-developed bulloid shell. Etymology: The genus name is a contraction of the family name Aglajidae, in which it is placed, and the philinoid genus Laona A.Adams, 1865, to which it resembles in external and internal morphology. Remark: The callus of cephalaspidean shells is often thin and looks like a narrow band along the inner lip of the aperture tapering to its anterior part (see Philine guineensis Ev.Marcus & Er.Marcus, 1966 or Ph. schrammi Malaquias, Ohnheiser, Oskars & Willassen, 2016 in Malaquias et al., 2016: figs 4D, 9E). Sometimes in taxonomical descriptions the callus morphology is not mentioned at all or noted only as ‘parietal callus present’. The simple narrow callus mentioned above was described as ‘ribbon-like’ for the philinids Spiraphiline hadalis Chaban et al., 2019 and Spiraphiline kurilokamchatica Chaban et al., 2019 (Chaban et al., 2019a). However, shells of Aglaona have a different morphology of the callus: it is narrow in the apical part of the shell, steadily widening to the middle of the body whorl, it then narrows rapidly to the columellar part of the aperture (Fig. 4C). We name this callus form as ‘wing-like’ and consider it an important character of the new genus.Published as part of Chaban, Elena M., Ekimova, Irina A., Schepetov, Dimitry M. & Chernyshev, Alexei V., 2022, The new genus Aglaona: the first abyssal aglajid (Heterobranchia: Cephalaspidea: Aglajidae) with a description of two new species from the north-western Pacific Ocean, pp. 198-214 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 on page 204, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab115, http://zenodo.org/record/703528

Type locality: Kuril Islands, Pacific slope of the Kuril Islands near the Bussol Strait, 46˚16.2΄N 152˚03.1΄E, depth 3374 m. Diagnosis: Headshield truncated at its posterior end; apex with one whorl visible; spiral sculpture with chains of narrow elongated pits of equal height. Head copulatory system with large conical penial papilla armed with a small triangular chitinous plate. Description: Preserved specimens up to 5.3 mm long, c. twice as long as wide. Body white, almost completely retracted into shell. Headshield short, rectangular, rounded anteriorly and truncated posteriorly, c. onefifth of body length. Parapodia small; foot short, extending to half of shell length. Parapodia and foot strongly contracted. Shell internal, white, semitransparent, occupying entire posterior shield, 4 mm long and c. 3 mm wide in the largest paratype. Spire consisting of a body whorl, covered with callus. Shell oval, wider anteriorly, widest in the middle of body whorl, apex obtuse. Periphery of body whorl regularly oval. Aperture not protruding beyond apex. Outer lip thin, fragile. Parietal wall convex, covered with a wide, wing-shaped callus; columellar border of inner lip straight, covered with narrow callus. Growth lines weak, frequent; spiral sculpture consists of thin, frequent chains of shallow, narrow, elongated pits of equal height connected with narrow grooves. Buccal bulb muscular, with chitin lining inside and developed radular sac posteriorly; salivary glands short. Radular formula 13 × 2:1:0:1:2. Laterals large, hook-shaped, bearing small denticles on internal border; marginal small, hook-shaped, without denticles. Cephalic penial complex with large, elongated, penial sheath and a short, thick, convoluted prostate; prostate almost equal in length with penial sheath; penis consisting of large, conical papilla and small, triangular chitinous plate. Comparison: Aglaona valdesi differs from A. rudmani in the head shape (truncated at its posterior end in A. valdesi vs. triangular in A. rudmani) and penial armature (a microscopic triangular plate in A. valdesi vs. a large stylet with additional cusps in A. rudmani) (Table 4). Distribution: Kuril Islands, Pacific slope of the Kuril Islands near the Bussol Strait, at 3374 m depth. Etymology: This species is named for Dr Ángel Valdés for his contributions to malacology in general and to cephalaspidean research in particular.Published as part of Chaban, Elena M., Ekimova, Irina A., Schepetov, Dimitry M. & Chernyshev, Alexei V., 2022, The new genus Aglaona: the first abyssal aglajid (Heterobranchia: Cephalaspidea: Aglajidae) with a description of two new species from the north-western Pacific Ocean, pp. 198-214 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 on pages 206-208, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab115, http://zenodo.org/record/703528
