The greatest difference is in the septum, which in C. amputatum is “… well exerted, surrounded by a crown of the truncated tube, apex placed on the side of convex aperture” (Hedley 1899: 504). The position of the mucro (the “apex” in Hedley’s description) is dorsal in C. inhacaense and ventral in C. amputatum . Moreover, there is a wide geographical distance between the two type localities since no similar species have been found by the second author while studying WKH KXJH FROOHFWLRQV RI WKH 01+1 LQ WKH 7URSLFDO,QGR‒3DFL¿F.</p><p>The new species can be compared to the endemic Mediterranean species C. auriculatum Folin, 1868 due to the overall form of the tube. Neither has any sculpture but has a ringed aperture. However, the form of the septum is markedly different: it has WKH VKDSH RI D VPDOO, ÀDWWHQHG EDOO LQ inhacaense, while it is hemispheric with ear-like right-oriented mucro in auriculatum . Moreover, the distribution is greatly disjunct.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4E1087ADDB391729FE046650FBD92ACA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
