Abstract. - Benimakia cloveri n. sp. is described from the Philippines, a species most closely related to B. fastigium (Reeve, 1847). 

Like B. fastigium, B. cloveri lacks a labral tooth, but B. cloveri is less slender. Latirus rosadoi Bozzetti, 2002, from Mozambique, is recognized as a labral-tooth-bearing species of Benimakia Habe, 1958. There are now three fossil and ten Recent species assigned to the genus Benimakia.
