Type material

Holotype NEW ZEALAND • South I., off east Otago; depth 260–350 ftm (= 475–640 m); MNZ, M.009262.

Remarks

The species is characterized by a small shell (SL 9.3 mm in the holotype) with strong spiral cords and a distinct crenulated shoulder carina. It is rather different from known species of Leucosyrinx, but in the absence of any data on anatomy, we retain it in Leucosyrinx with strong doubts.
