Abstract
Macron constrictus sp. nov. and Neorapana rotundata sp. nov. from the Cantaure Formation (Early Miocene) of Venezuela are the earlest known members of their respective genera, and the only species of Macron and Neorapana known from the Atlantic Ocean. Both are extremely similar t o Recent species from northwestern Mexico, Macron orcutti Dall, 1918, and Neorapana tuberculata (Sowerby, 1835).
