Type material. Holotype (MNHN-IM-2000-20248) and 4 paratypes ( MNHN-2000-20249 , MNHN-IM-200020795-20796), 1 paratype ( ZISP).

Type locality. South of New Caledonia, 22°52’S, 167°20’E–168°22’E, 491–558 m [SMIB 8: stn DW 193– 196] GoogleMaps .

Material examined. New Caledonia, “EBISCO” stn DW 2607, 19°33’S, 158°40’E, 400–413 m, 1 spm ( MNHNIM- 2013-49564), BL 11.0 mm, 18.10.2005 GoogleMaps ; “TERRASES” stn DW 3053, 23°45’S, 168°16’E, 410–440 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-66456), BL 14.0 mm, 19.10.2008 GoogleMaps ; “TERRASES” stn DW 3060, 23°39’S, 167°44’E, 450– 440 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-66455), BL 6.0 mm, 21.10.2008 GoogleMaps ; “KANACONO” stn DW 4718, 22°47’S, 167°09’E, 350 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-69613), BL 23.0 mm, 19.08.2016 GoogleMaps ; “KANACONO” stn DW 4722, 22°54’S, 167°17’E, 505– 496 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-69525), BL 16.0 mm, 19.08.2016 GoogleMaps ; “KANACONO” stn DW 4781, 22°57’S, 167°47’E, 295–355 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-67037), BL 15.0 mm, 29.08.2016 GoogleMaps .

Distribution. New Caledonia (255–580 m: Sirenko 2008 and this study).

Remarks. The new specimen studied (MNHN-IM-2013-49564) from New Caledonia is similar to the holotype (MNHN-IM-2000-20248) in shape, the structure of the shells and the shape of radular teeth. Most dorsal scales have granules near the edge of the distal part and only a few scales have grooves. This specimen has dorsal a elevation of 0.38, slit formula 13/1 (rare 2)/sinus + 2 obsolete, valve III with two slits in both sides, valve II with two slits in right side, other intermediate valves with one slit in side, 20 gills on each side, and a radula 2.3 mm long with 28 transverse rows of mature teeth.
