INTRODUCTION Studies on two species of western Atlantic N'itrinellidae are reported herein. Populations of Cyclostremiscus Despite the great number of nominal species assigned to beauii (Fischer, 1857) and Circulus texanus (Moore, 1965) the poorK defined, cosmopolitan, marine rissoacean fam- were discovered in Florida in sand-flat burrows of the ily \ itrinellidae Bush, 1897, little is known about the stomatopod crustacean Lysiosquilla scabricauda (La- biology of its members. Their small size, mostly unknown marck, 1818). These burrows are U-shaped and extend habitats, poor representation in collections, and frequent up to 1.5 m into the sediment, with horizontal distances confusion with other small-shelled members of groups of 6-7 m between the two openings; a pair of stomatopods such as Cyclostrematidae Fischer, 1885, Skeneidae Thiele, inhabits each burrow system, maintaining it over long 1929, Turbinidae Rafinesque, 1815, and Tornidae Sacco. periods of time (Serene, 1954; R.
