A new species of Phorcus (Vetigastropoda, Trochidae) from the Cape Verde Islands

[EN] A recent molecular study has shown that the well-known intertidal Cape Verde topshell, previously identified as Osilinus punctulatus, O. tamsi or O. atratus, is a distinct undescribed species (DONALD, PRESTON, WILLIAMS, REID, WINNER, ALVAREZ, BUGE, HAWKINS, TEMPLADO & SPENCER, 2012). Therefore we describe it here as new for science and compare it to the closest species. [ES] Un estudio reciente basado en técnicas moleculares ha demostrado que la especie intermareal de las islas de Cabo Verde previamente identificada como Osilinus punctulatus, O. tamsi u O. atratus, es en realidad una especie diferente no descrita (DONALD, PRESTON, WILLIAMS, REID, WINNER, ALVAREZ, BUGE, HAWKINS, TEMPLADO & SPENCER, 2012). Por lo tanto, la describimos aquí como nueva para la ciencia y la comparamos con las especies más próximas.
