Abstract
A new species of True Tulip Shell in the genus Fasciolaria has been discovered in coral reef areas along the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. This new Mexican fasciolariid, here named Fasciolaria haleyi new species Berschauer & Petuch 2023, has the most inflated and rotund shell of any member of its genus and can be distinguished by its polished and highly-colorful shell. This new Yucatan endemic is morphologically closest only to the newly described Fasciolaria bittneri Petuch and Berschauer, 2023 from the Dry Tortugas of Florida and represents the fourth-known Fasciolaria species to occur in the Gulf of Mexico.
