Zetela turbynei (Barnard, 1963) —new combination

( Figure 10 E, F radula )

Solariella turbynei Barnard, 1963a: 243 , fig. 11a. Kensley, 1973: 44, fig. 106. Type loc.: Cape Point, NE ½ N, distant 19 miles, 145 fathoms [265 m]; holotype in SAMC (A9276), figured by Herbert (1987c: figs 187–189).

Spectamen turbynei — Herbert, 1987c: 372, figs 120j, 187–192.

Distribution. Agulhas Bank, from Storms River to Cape Point; 39–217 m (living 101–217 m).

Notes. Living specimens collected subsequent to Herbert (1987c) show that the radula lacks an elongate, cuspless latero-marginal plate ( Fig. 10 E, F). The species cannot thus be referred to Spectamen . The animal has four epipodial tentacles on each side, the first and last of which are larger, a pattern similar to that of Zetela semisculpta . As a result I refer the species to Zetela .
