Cernohorsky (1987) suggested that the development of the bicarinate subsutural cord is variable in Gemmula congener (E. A. Smith, 1894), and that G. r a r i m a c u l a t a Kuroda &amp; Oyama 1971 is a synonym. We do not agree with Cernohorsky (1987) because G. congener has distinctly broader shell than G. rarimaculata, and the details of shell sculpture of the two species is different.</p><p>Powell (1964) reported three recent subspecies of Gemmula congener: G. c. cosmoi (Sykes, 1930), G. c. diomedea Powell, 1964, and type subspecies G. c. congener (E.

They were evaluated as separated species more recently by Cernohorsky (1987) and Kilburn (1983).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B01187F0FFB6FFD1FF7E792FFC6DFE4A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The 35m depth of the present record represents the shallowest bathymetric record for the species.</p><p>Remarks. The three specimens agree with the previous descriptions and illustrations of most of the shell features of G. d i o m e d e a, although the anal sinus is different from that of the holotype of the species. Powell (1964) considered this species is an intermediate form between Gemmula (Gemmula) cosmoi (Sykes, 1930) and G. congener (E. A. Smith, 1894), but these two forms were found in depths between 182–640m, much deeper than the present species.</p><p>* Gemmula flata sp. nov. (Pl. 1, figs. 5-6)</p><p>Type material.

From flatus, Latin, means flat. The specific name is in reference to the rather flat-side profile to each whorl in the spire of the shell.</p><p>Diagnosis. Shell 31.5 mm in height, broadly fusiform, with tall, turreted spire and long straight canal; suture distinct, followed by a strong crested subsutural fold. With 11 whorls, including protoconch of 3 whorls, upper 1 or 2 nuclear whorls smooth, eroded to certain extent, remainder axially costate. Peripheral carina is low on the spire whorls.</p><p>Description. Shell 31.5 mm in height, solid, broadly fusiform; spire tall, slightly shorter than height of aperture plus canal; with 11 whorls, including protoconch of three whorls, upper one or two nuclear whorls smooth, eroded to certain extent, remainder with axial costae. Spire whorls sculptured with wavy spiral fold, followed by strong crested subsutural fold composed of three closely spaced cords, with central cord strongest. With about four to five crisp strong spirals on concave shoulder area, then a prominent gemmate bicarinate peripheral keel composed of two to three closely spaced cords. Gemmules vertically fused, about 38–50 gemmules per whorl. Peripheral carina set low on spire whorls, almost at lower suture, forming rather flatsided profile to each spire whorl with base contracted, forming relatively long anterior canal. Upper base with two strong spaced spiral cords, two to three fine intermediate cords between them, neck and anterior end with about 20 spaced cords, with fine intermediate threads. Outer lip thin, covered by extensions of spiral cords externally, sinus deep, U–shaped, situated on peripheral carina; inner lip smooth. Anterior canal moderately long, almost straight. Color uniformly buff.</p><p>Distribution. Only known from South China Sea so far.</p><p>Remarks. Powell (1964) noted a species complex namely “ Gemmula martini series”, including four species: G. m a r t i n i (Tesch, 1915), G. aethiopica (Thiele, 1925), G. sibogae (Schepman, 1913) and G. sibukoensis Powell, 1964 . Powell pointed out that the four species share the following character: “the peripheral carina is low on the spire whorls, almost on the lower suture, which results in a rather flat-sided profile to each whorl in spire”. Gemmula flata sp. nov. also has this character, and is similar in shell profile to the four species, should be a member of this complex. The new species can be easily distinguished from the other four species of the complex by the details of the shell sculpture, including the crisp spiral cords, strong crested subsutural fold, and the more concave spire whorls.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B01187F0FFB0FFD3FF7E7F15FDB6F817	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Olivera (2004a) discussed the taxonomic position of Lophiotoma unedo (Kiener, 1839 –1940) and indicated that the Lophiotoma unedo complex “is one of the most confusing groups of the large Turrinae ”. The complex can be divided into two distinct forms based on the whole, the typical form and the typical Japanese form. Olivera (2004a) doubted the taxonomic positions of the two forms: “feel that it would be premature to separate them at the subspecific or specific level, or to conclude that they are conspecific”. Our specimens agree well with the typical Japanese form which are quite different from Kiener’s (1839–1940) type form. We discussed with Dr. Kilburn about the position of our specimens, he suggested that they are Lophiotoma unedo (personal communication). We accepted his suggestion and assign our specimens as L. unedo here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B01187F0FFA0FFC1FF7E7CE5FA9DFA37	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Shell small, sculpture with strong, rounded, subsutural fold and strongly projected, rounded, overhanging peripheral carina on upper part of each post–nuclear whorl. Color uniformly yellowish brown.</p><p>Description. Shell small, 15.7 mm in height, elongate fusiform; with tall spire and relatively long, straight anterior canal, spire turreted, about equal to height of aperture plus canal; suture distinct, with ten whorls, including conical protoconch of two whorls, apex eroded, remainder with fine axial costae. Spire whorls sculptured firstly with conspicuous, rounded subsutural fold, more rounded on early whorls and flat on adult whorls, followed by prominent, rounded peripheral carina, protruding above shell surface, like brim of hat or edge of roof. Profile of later adult whorls under peripheral carina nearly perpendicular. Entire whorl encircled by rounded spiral cords, rendered noticeably gemmulate at points of intersection with rounded and slightly oblique axials. Aperture elongate ovate, outer lip thin, sinus narrow and deep, U–shaped, situated on peripheral carina; inner lip smooth. Anterior canal moderately long, almost straight. Color uniformly yellowish brown.</p><p>Distribution. Only known from the type locality.</p><p>Remarks. The peculiar shell profile of Lophiotoma verticala sp. nov. can distinguish it from all other species of the genus. The shell profile of L. verticala looks like that of Fusiturris undatiruga (Bivona, 1832) (from Spain) according to Powell’s (1964) figure. It differs from the latter by the following shell features: the axial folds are less strong and the spiral folds are more prominent, the peripheral carina protrudes over the surface, the sinus is deep and narrow (vs the axial folds are more prominent and the spiral folds are not conspicuous, the peripheral carina is less strong and does not protrude over the surface, the sinus is narrow and broad in F. undatiruga).</p><p>This species seems to fit the characters of the genus Fusiturris rather than Lophiotoma based on the descriptions reported by Powell (1966), but Powell maintained (1966) that the recent species of Fusiturris occur only in the Mediterranean and southward along the equatorial coast of West Africa, its Indo-Pacific counterpart species should be put in Lophiotoma . We tentatively assign this species to the genus Lophiotoma here until further evidence is found.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B01187F0FFA0FFC3FF7E7B27FDBBFB42	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

East China Sea; Indonesia, Celebes, Moluccas and Borneo.</p><p>Remarks. Powell (1964) reported this form as a subspecies of Ptychosyrinx timorenis (Tesch, 1915) . The present specimens agree well with Powell’s (1964) descriptions. Sysoev (1996) raised it as a separated species distinct from P. timorenis because it has a much broader fusiform shell than that of P. t i m o re n i s and treated the Ptychosyrinx as a subgenus of Gemmula . He also mentioned that G. t e s c h i varies in the prominence of the spiral ribs on the shell base and the number of peripheral tubercles. Robba et al. (1989) synonymized Ptychosyrinx timorensis teschi Powell, 1964 as a junior synonym of Ptychosyrinx timorensis (Tesch, 1915) . We followed the opinion of Robba et al. (1989) here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B01187F0FFA2FFC2FF7E782DFD57FE49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
