Abstract
Three bathyal species of the family Eulimidae are reported from the Pleisto cene of Southern Italy, Eulima bilineata Alder, 1848, Melanella seguenzai n . sp. and Campylorhaphion famelicum (Watson, 1883). M. seguenzai n. sp, is markedly close to the Recent Mediterranean Melanella glypta Bouchet & Waren , 1986. Haliella tyrrhena n, sp., possibly from the Pleistocene as well as from the Holocene, is described from bathyal bottoms in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is notably close to H. canarica Bouchet & Waren, 1986 from the Canary I slands. Other incompletely known deep-sea eulimids from the Mediterranean P leistocene are briefly discussed.
