Sibogasyrinx lancea (Y.-C. Lee, 2001) comb. nov.

Fig. 35H–I

Leucosyrinx lancea Y.-C. Lee, 2001: 8, fig. 2a–d.

Type material

Holotype TAIWAN • off Pratas I.; depth 430–610 m; dredged by shrimp trawlers; NMNS-3704001.

Material examined (sequenced)

PHILIPPINES • 1 lv; Luzon I.; 15°53′ N, 121°54′ E; depth 518–538 m; AURORA 2007, stn CP2750; MNHN-IM-2009-13465 .

Remarks

The species is characterized by a subsutural row of rounded knobs. This is not found in any species of Leucosyrinx, but is, conversely, present in all species of Sibogasyrinx and Comispira . Moreover, a very similar specimen (MNHN-IM-2009-13465 – Fig. 35E), collected off Luzon, Philippines, at similar depths (518–538 m) was recently sequenced and a partial cox 1 sequence confidently places it in Sibogasyrinx . Therefore, we transfer it to Sibogasyrinx .

Distribution

Taiwan to Philippines, 430– 518 m.
