Anthessius isamusi n. sp. is described based on female and male specimens from a turbinid gastropod, Turbo marmoratusLinnaeus, collected in the East China Sea off Kumejima Island, the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, during the KUME-JIMA 2009 Expedition. The female of the new species is differentiated from its congeners by the following combinationof characters: 1) the absence of denticles on the ventral surface of the anal somite; 2) the length to width ratio of the caudalramus; 3) the antenna bearing 4 claws; 4) the maxilla with 3 distal teeth; 5) the exopod of leg 4 with 3 spines on the terminal segment, and; 6) leg 5 with a rod-like terminal segment.

ABSTRACTWe describe two coastal paleosols recovered in sediment cores from the Oujiang Delta, Southeast China. These provide useful benchmarks for past sea level change on the East China Sea coast. Radiocarbon (14C) dates on charcoal and plant matter show that one formed during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) and was exposed for perhaps 20 ka, during the Last Glacial Maximum. The other formed in the Early Holocene and was briefly exposed, during a period of fluctuating sea level. Similar paleosols have been described from the Changjiang (Yangtze) Delta, and at many other sites from the East China Sea. The MIS 3 paleosol records a regional relative sea level of about –27 m at the end of MIS 3. While this value is consistent with other paleo sea level estimates for the East China Sea region, it is much higher than predicted by eustatic sea level estimates.
