8DC1E3C9723878EE6B3900F24196B5C7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A moderately small species of Plekocheilus (Plekocheilus), characterized by the irregularly shaped, widely spaced, narrowly reddish-brown axial colour streaks, and the spiral series of oblong granules between the axial riblets, becoming a malleate pattern on the dorsal side of the last whorl.	en	Breure, Abraham S.

Colour light chestnut-brown, with irregular, axial streaks of reddish-brown, partly as oblique lines or as zig-zag lightning streaks and partly broken up. Upper whorls paler or denuded of epidermis. Surface somewhat glossy, with moderately strong axial riblets, partly broken up into smaller ones, especially on lower ventral part of last whorl; penultimate whorl with spirally arranged oblong granules in between axial riblets, becoming gradually stronger and forming, on dorsal side of last whorl, a malleated pattern of spirally arranged, broken axial riblets partly irregularly shaped. Protoconch smooth (eroded). Whorls up to 4.9, hardly convex, last whorl 0.94 times shell height, somewhat swollen. Suture well impressed, descending in front and abrubtly ascending behind lip. Aperture elongate-ovate, 2.28 times as long as wide, height 0.72 times shell height. Peristome expanded and reflexed, whitish or pinkish, slightly curved at insertion to parietal wall. Columellar margin curved, above a more or less weak fold entering the aperture; broadly dilated above at the insertion to the parietal wall, which has a thin whitish or translucent, broadly spreading callus. Dimensions in mm: H 37.8 - 45.0, D 22.3 - 25.4, HA 23.5 - 32.2, WA 11.6 - 14.8, LW 34.0 - 42.2, 3.8 - 4.9 whorls. Holotype H 44.8, D 25.4, HA 32.2, WA 14.1, LW 42.2, 4.8 whorls.	en	Breure, Abraham S.

8DC1E3C9723878EE6B3900F24196B5C7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is formed after the abbreviation for the ' Comision Cientifica del Pacifico' (CCP). Named in honour of the expedition members of this commission, i. e. Patricio Maria Paz y Membiela (1808 - 1874), Manuel Almagro (1834 - 1895), Fernando Amor (1820 - 1863), Francisco de Paula Martinez y Saez (1835 - 1898), Marcos Jimenez de la Espada (1831 - 1898), Rafael Castro y Ordonez (1834 - 1865), and Juan Isern (1825 - 1866). 150 years ago they returned with many undescribed species and this novelty remained all those years on the shelves. The epithet is used as a noun.	en	Breure, Abraham S.
