Abstract
Talantodiscus is a rare genus within the pleurotomariid gastropods represented by only seven species from nine different Mesozoic localities of New Zealand and Europe, appearing from the late Middle Triassic (Late Ladinian) to the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) in the fossil record. In the present paper, we report a new species, i.e., Talantodiscus gujaratensis, from the topmost Tithonian bed of the Kutch Basin, western India. The new find extends the palaeobiogeographic range of the genus to the western India beside New Zealand and European localities. Also, the last appearance datum (LAD) of the genus is extended to the latest of the Jurassic (Tithonian).
