Abstract

A new species of Bistolida Cossmann, 1920 is described from the Miocene of the Cibalong area, Tasikmalaya Regency of western Java, Indonesia. Morphological analyses of the shell dimensions, outline, extremities, aperture shape, and apertural teeth shows a combination of characters that are typical of the genus Bistolida. Although the genus has not previously been reported from Java, its presence in the Miocene fossil record is supported by the six specimens that are shown here.
