Description
Coralliophila suduirauti Smriglio & Mariottini, 2003
(Fig. 5E)
Coralliophila suduirauti Smriglio & Mariottini, 2003: 49, figs 1-9.
TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype MZB 42942.
TYPE LOCALITY. — Off Balicasag Island, Philippines.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — The type material and: Banc Lotus, BENTHAUS, stn DW 1946, 23°49.2’S, 147°41.2’W, 100-200 m, 1 lv (Fig 5E).
DISTRIBUTION. — Coralliophila suduirauti was described from the Philippines and was known so far, only from this area and from Vanuatu (one empty shell in 200- 260 m: Oliverio 2008b). The present record (1 juvenile living in 100-200 m) extends its range in the SW Pacific Austral Islands.
REMARKS
The single (somehow immature) specimen differs from the type material of C. suduirauti Smriglio & Mariottini, 2003 in its more pyriform profile, and the slightly finer sculpture. It is anyway sufficiently similar to be confidently ascribed to this species.
