Buccinum thermophilum new species, is described from abyssal depths of the Endeavour Vent Field, a portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the northeastern Pacific. The new species is provisionally assigned to the subgenus Viridibuccinum Golikov and Sirenko, 1988, primarily on the basis of its conchological similarities with some of the species included in this subgenus, especially its type species B. (V.) viridum Dall, 1890. The anatomy of this new species is similar in most respects to that of the few species of Buccininae for which the anatomy is known. Buccinum thermophilum most closely resembles B. viridum, B. rondinum Dall, 1919, and, to a much lesser extent, Buccinum diplodetum Dall, 1907, which has a similar geographic and bathymetric range.
