Material examined (sequenced)

SOLOMON ISLANDS • 1 lv; S of Malaita; 9°54′ N, 161°33′ E; depth 1136–1750 m; SALOMONBOA3, stn CP2817; MNHN-IM-2009-16833 .

DNA diagnosis (based on 1 (!) cox 1 sequence)

‘G’ in site 79, ‘T’ in site 169, ‘C’ in site 271, ‘C’ in site 289.

Remarks

The species is represented in our material by a single incomplete specimen and therefore we abstain from formal description.

In shell outline it resembles Leucosyrinx sp. 18, Leucosyrinx sp. 21., the holotype of L. farhatorum sp. nov. and L. modicae sp. nov., none of them closely related phylogenetically.
