Rio de Janeiro state: MNRJ18591, HAB 13-H3 [1]; MNRJ18624, HAB 16-H3 [1].   Typelocality.Station HAB 13-H3 of Project Habitats: 21º43’06”S, 40º11’37”W, 73 m, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.   Etymology.The specific name alludes to the resemblance of the shell to the cigar used by “preto-velho”, an entity in the Afro-Brazilian religion of Umbanda; “ mizifio” is a common expression of him, meaning “my son”. Epithet as a noun in apposition.   Diagnosis.Brown, elongated shell; median spiral cord emerges weakly in the beginning of sixth to eighth whorl, reaching same size than abapical cord after three to four whorls; little developed suture; three supranumerical cords.   Description.Shell sinistral, elongated, narrow, conical, profile rectilinear (juveniles) to slightly curvilinear (adults), reaching 7.76 mmin length, 2.07 mmin width. Color light to dark brown, almost homogeneous, with nodules slightly clearer than background of shell; some shells slightly orange. Protoconch conical, 0.46–0.55 mmin length, 0.35–0.42 mmin width, with 5–5.5 slightly convex whorls; embryonic shell dome-shaped, covered by hemispherical (top of embryonic shell) or arrowhead-shaped (mid and bottom) granules and small vesicles, these are more concentrated in its adapical and final portion, and coalesce into axial ribs; larval shell with two spiral cords, but adapical one disappears in some just before the transition to teleoconch; about 32 slightly sigmoid axial ribs. Teleoconch with up to 13 whorls; two spiral cords (adapical and abapical) on first whorl, abapical one continuous with that of protoconch; median spiral cord emerges weakly in the beginning of sixth to eighth whorl, reaching almost same size as abapical cord (adapical one often thicker than others) after three to four whorls; 20 to 23 opisthocline axial ribs; rounded nodules of medium size; little developed suture, with a small sutural cord; little nodulose to slightly wavy subperipheral cord and two smooth to slightly wavy basal cords; three small supranumerical cords may develop near the peristome, one between median and abapical spiral cords, another between abapical and subperipheral cords and the last between subperipheral and adapical basal cords; aperture elliptical; anterior canal curved backward, being long and open, but crossed in its base by projection of outer lip; posterior canal as an orifice almost detached from aperture.   Remarks.The shells of  Cheirodonta mizifio  sp. nov.vary, especially relating to the strength of the adapical spiral cord on the teleoconch (being little, Fig. 2A or considerably more, Fig. 2B developed than remaining cords) and the number of whorls in which the median spiral cord reaches the same size as the abapical one after its emergence. In addition, shells from Bahia ( Fig. 2C) and Rio Grande do Norte ( Fig. 2D) states have the median spiral cord emerging on the sixth teleoconch whorl, but it occurs usually in the seventh/eighth whorl in specimens from Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro states ( Fig. 2A–B). Shells from Rio Grande do Norte are smaller and with fewer whorls than remaining shells. This is the only species, besides the typespecies  Cheirodonta pallescens( Jeffreys, 1867), that undoubtedly belongs to this genus, as the Pacific species  Cheirodonta labiata( A. Adams, 1854)was tentatively referred to this genus (  Marshall1983) and the assignments of  Cheirodontafor the western Atlantic are incorrect. The few differences between  C. mizifioand  C. pallescensinvolve the whorl of emergence of the median spiral cord [sixth to eighth whorl in  C. mizifio; ninth whorl in  C. pallescens( Bouchet 1985)], and the more curvilinear profile and paler shell coloration in  C. pallescens( Rolán 2005: fig. 447). Although  Marshall(1983)created the genus  Cheirodontabased solely on its exclusive radular morphology, some conchological features can also be used to distinguish it from similar genera, such as  Marshallora Bouchet, 1985.  Cheirodontapossesses supranumerical cords before the peristome ( Fig. 2G), hemispherical and arrowheadshaped granules in the embryonic shell ( Fig. 2J) and an almost detached posterior canal. Species of  Marshalloraapparently do not develop such cords or arrowhead-shaped granules, and possess a less developed posterior canal; in addition, the suture of  Cheirodonta( Fig. 2F) is less distinct than in  Marshallora.  Geographic distribution. Brazil: Rio Grande do Norte, Bahia to Rio de Janeiro.  Bathymetric distribution. 22 to 100 m. The depth of 607–620 mfrom Expedition MD55 is probably incidental, derived from turbidity currents.
