Three species of pyramidellid mollusks collected from Miyazaki, Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, are reported: Turbonilla rartans Nomura, 1936, T. var- icose (A. Adams, 1855) and Ptycheulimella syrnoli- forms Nomura, 1938. Living specimens of the first and the third species were photographed. These two spe- cies differ from each other in the shape of whole mar- gins and the presence of inner spiral ribs of teleoconch whorls.
