Description
“ Leucosyrinx ” canyonensis (Dell, 1956)
Fig. 34B
Antimelatoma canyonensis Dell, 1956: 142, fig. 196.
Leucosyrinx canyonensis – Powell 1979: 230, fig. 53: 3. — Spencer et al. 2011.
Type material
Holotype NEW ZEALAND • South I., off east Otago; depth 260–350 ftm (= 475–640 m); MNZ, M.009262.
Remarks
The species is characterized by a small shell (SL 9.3 mm in the holotype) with strong spiral cords and a distinct crenulated shoulder carina. It is rather different from known species of Leucosyrinx, but in the absence of any data on anatomy, we retain it in Leucosyrinx with strong doubts.
Distribution
Type locality.
