TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype. Australia • dd; Queensland, Capricorn Group, Mast Head Reef; AMS-C.19544.

Paratypes. Australia • 14 dd; Queensland, Capricorn Group, Mast Head Reef; AMS-C.170431.

TYPE LOCALITY. Australia: Queensland, Capricorn Group, Mast Head Reef.

DISTRIBUTION. — Pacific from the northern part of Australia to Japan and Hawaii (van Gemert 2016: 8) (Fig. 50).

DIAGNOSIS. — Parashiela small for the genus, height 1.20 mm. Whorls convex with weak double anglulation on the last whorl. Protoconch multispiral.Teleoconch devoid of spiral macro-sculpture; 20 narrow and slightly flexuose axial ribs on the last whorl, reaching the base and entering the narrow umbilical fissure.

REMARKS

The holotype (AMS-C.19544) (Fig. 23A, B) is rather damaged, especially on the aperture (it has also suffered partial corrosion from the Byne’s disease). This species has rarely been reported in the literature (e.g. Middelfart et al. 2020: 171, fig. 8C) and more often under other names (e.g. Kay 1979: 78, pl. 27, fig. D, as Parashiela beetsi, fide Hasegawa 2006b:109; Fukuda 1993: 40, pl. 13, fig. 188, as Parashiela ambulata; Ekawa, 1993, as Parashiela sp., fide Hasegawa 2006b: 109).

See under P. expansilabrum n. sp., P. rimatara n. sp. and P. soniae n. sp. for detailed comparisons.
