Gymnoscalpellum insigne

Description

Gymnoscalpellum insigne (Hoek, 1883)

Fig. 4

Scalpellum insigne Hoek, 1883: 68, pl. II, figs 3–4.

Gymnoscalpellum insigne: Zevina, 1981a: 153–154, fig. 109.

Material examined. Holotype NHM UK 2013.1067, Stn 6: Atlantic, Northeast (off Cape Sao Vincente, Portugal); 2791 m.

Diagnosis. Hoek (1883) only, no appendage descriptions available.

Distribution. Atlantic, Northeast: off the Azores. Known depth range 2791 m.

Remarks. Newman & Ross (1971) considered this species to be an ontogenetic stage similar to those of other Gymnoscalpellum species, particularly Gymnoscalpellum larvale (Pilsbry, 1907с). Study of the shell plate details confirms that these two species may be closely related, but the appendages have not yet been compared in detail.
