Pupina brachysoma Ancey, 1904

Figs 36M View Figure 36 , 41F View Figure 41

Pupina brachysoma Ancey in Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1904 [1903]: 230, 231, pl. 10, figs 15, 16. Type locality: Haut-Tonkin [northern Vietnam]. Fischer-Piette 1950: 171. Wood and Gallichan 2008: 31, pl. 25, figs 5, vi.

Type material examined.

Lectotype MNHN-IM-2000-9652 (Figs 36M View Figure 36 , 41F View Figure 41 ) from Haut Tonkin. Paralectotypes NMW.1955.158.24153 figured in Wood and Gallichan (2008: pl. 25, figs 5, vi).

Diagnosis.

Shell ovate-fusiform; last whorl ca. three quarters of shell height. Apertural lip somewhat thickened, slightly expanded. Parietal tooth sharp, tooth-like, thickened; columellar tooth fin-shaped, slightly thickened, located next to slit-like anterior canal. Posterior canal widened.

Differential diagnosis.

Pupina brachysoma is most similar to P. tchehelensis and P. lowi in having a sharp, tooth-like, thickened parietal tooth, a fin-shaped, thickened columellar tooth that is located next to a slit-like anterior canal, and a posterior canal that is gradually widening. However, P. brachysoma is different from both P. tchehelensis and P. lowi by a more ovate-fusiform shell shape, and a less thickened but slightly expanded apertural lip. Pupina brachysoma is also similar to P. dorri dorri in shell shape, but differs in having a gradually widening posterior canal.

Distribution.

Known only from the type locality ( Bavay and Dautzenberg 1904).

Remarks.

As the original description did not explicitly state that the description of this species was based on a single specimen (nor could this be inferred), the designation of a holotype by Fischer-Piette (1950) in fact constitutes a lectotype designation ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.6).
