The present study gives a formal name to the ‘scaly-foot gastropod’, Chrysomallon squamiferum n. gen., n. sp. with Longqi vent field as the type. As greigite is magnetic, the animal actually sticks to magnets. The three known populations of Chrysomallon squamiferum: Kairei, Longqi.

Cephalic tentacles elongate, thick at base, tapering to fine point at distal tip. The name is given in reference to the metal coating often found on the gastropod’s shell and sclerites, which includes pyrite, commonly known as fool’s gold.
