Procqmbulia philiporum, new species, is described from submersible collections in the Bahamas. Thisspecies retains a coiled shell but exhibits unique characters not known for other pseudothecosomes. It displays an extensive wingplate reminiscent of the family Cyrnbuliidae and encases its calcareous shell in a voluminous pseudoconch. Thus P. philiporum displays key characters of both the Peraclididae and the Cymbuliidae. This species is most appropriately placed in the genus Procymbulia Meisenheimer, 1905, within the Family Peraclididae Tesch, 1913, to distinguish its transitional nature.
