Description

Genus Granuliterebra Oyama, 1961

(Fig. 10A)

Type species: Terebra bathyrhaphe E.A. Smith, 1875; OD.

Diagnosis: Shell of small size (< 36 mm), slender, sculptured by strong ribs, bearing nodules on subsutural band and on bottom of ribs, giving concave outline to whorls. Protoconch of 2.5–4 whorls.

Distribution: Indian and western Pacific Oceans.

Remarks: Species in the genus Pellifronia are similar in having a concave whorl outline, but have notably weaker nodules and a less clearly defined subsutural band. Species with similar nodulose sculpture exist in the genus Neoterebra, but generally these have a wider apical angle or a very shiny texture. Duplicaria tricincta has similar sculpture, but including two raised, thin, spiral cords.

Included species:

Granuliterebra bathyrhaphe (E. A. Smith, 1875) 4;

G. constricta (Thiele, 1925) 4;

G. eddunhami Terryn & Holford, 20084;

G. oliverai Terryn & Holford, 20084;

G. persica (E. A. Smith, 1877) 4.
