Bothriembryon sophiarum sp. n. is described, based on shell and anatomical morphology, from the coastal area of south-easternmost Western Australia. This is the first description of a new extant Australian bothriembryontid in 33 years. The shell of Bothriembryon sophiarum is slender with a unique teleoconch sculpture. It is found in low coastal scrub on cliff edges and escarpments and because of its restricted distribution, qualifies as a short range endemic.
基于壳和解剖形态，描述了新物种索菲澳带丝蚓（Bothriembryon sophiarum sp. n.），该物种发现于澳大利亚最西南部的沿海地区。这是33年来对澳大利亚现存新带丝蚓科物种的首次描述。索菲澳带丝蚓的壳细长，具有独特的壳顶雕刻。它生长在悬崖边缘和陡坡的低海岸灌木丛中，由于分布范围有限，属于短距离特有物种。
