Treatment

Veleropilina sp.

unidentified Monoplacophora Levin & Lonsdale 1983: 1017. Veleropilina sp. Warén & Gofas 1996: 222, figs 1 D, 8 A, B, 9 E, F, 10 A–C, 15 A.

The species is here included in the list of species from below 2000 m, because the record of the single specimen: off the southern point of Baja California (20 ° 48.5 'N, 109 ° 17.4 'W), 1950 m depth at a submarine volcano, was close enough to 2000 m that it is likely that it also occurs somewhat deeper.
