The turbinid gastropod Turbo (Marmarostoma) is common in the limestone bodies within the middle Miocene Sakurada and Kadono formations (Yugashima Group) on the Izu Peninsula, central Japan. The limestone bodies were originally deposited under a low-latitude, tropical climate in the northeastern Philippine Sea and then drifted northwards on the Philippine Sea Plate. This paper describes an additional species, Turbo (Marmarostoma) ishidai sp. nov., from the Ena Limestone on the south-western Izu Peninsula. This new species is characterized by its large shell size and shell form similar to the modern Australian endemic species Turbo (Marmarostoma) cepoides , but differs in having thick tuberculate spiral cords on the shell surface of earlier teleoconch whorls instead of the smooth and broad spiral cords on and around the angled shoulder. The addition of this new species further highlights the presence of a biodiversity hotspot of this gastropod group in the northeastern Philippines Sea during the middle Miocene.
