Abstract

Four new species in the superfamily Galeommatoidea (Bivalvia) were found in sediment samples from the continental shelf and upper bathyal slope off Namibia, SW Africa: Kurtiella namibiensis n. sp., Bornia walvisensis n. sp., Scacchia aartseni n. sp. and Scacchia huberi n. sp. One live specimen of Bornia walvisensis n. sp. was brooding. A commensal relationship is likely between Bornia walvisensis n. sp. and the decapod host Kraussillichirus kraussi (Stebbing, 1900).
