Leucosyrinx sp. 10

Fig. 11E–F

Material examined (sequenced)

SOLOMON ISLANDS • 1 lv; Vella Gulf ; 8°04′ N, 159°56′ E; depth 396–423 m; SALOMON 2, stn CP2259; MNHN-IM-2009-16749 .

Remarks

The species is represented in our material by a single specimen; we therefore abstain from its description.

It bears similarity to L. zahariasi sp. nov. in similarly narrow and numerous axial folds and in the profile of the teleoconch whorls, but differs in a broader shell and more distinct spirtal sculpture consisting of much narrower cords with broader intervals, also well-developed on the subsutural ramp, while the cords are very weak if recognizable on the ramp in L. zahariasi .

Distribution

Solomon Is., 396– 423 m.
