Spiny slipper shells in the genus Bostrycapulus range worldwide in tropical and temperate oceans. Owing to the scarcity of samples that retain the defining characteristics of the genus, the species from tropical Africa and the Indo-Pacific are poorly known. Here we present data showing that samples of Bostrycapulus from the Cape Verde Islands and Senegal are distinct from each other and distinc...
