Description
Genus Leptoconchus Rüppell, 1834
Leptoconchus Rüppell, 1834: 105.
Magilopsis G. B. Sowerby III, 1919: 77 (type species by original designation: Leptococonchus lamarckii Deshayes, 1863; Recent, Indo-Pacific).
TYPE SPECIES. — Leptoconchus striatus Rüppell, 1835 (by subsequent monotypy of Rüppell 1835); Recent, Red Sea.
REMARKS
Leptoconchus was introduced (Rüppell 1834) without associated species. Leptoconchus striatus Rüppell, 1835 is the type species by subsequent monotypy (ICZN 1999: Arts 67.2.2, 69.3). Massin (1982, 1983, 1990, 1992, 2000) studied the ecology and taxonomy of the species in this group. A revision of the Leptoconchus species is currently being undertaken by Dr Arjan Gittenberger at the Leiden Museum of Natural History (Naturalis).
