However, it differs from <i>Fulvia</i> in having: 1) very asymmetrical or “fragiform” outline, with a relatively pronounced keel or carina delimiting the posterior shell region (a character also shown by <i>Fulvia fragiformis</i> Vidal, 1994); 2) posterior ribs and interstices that are very strong and triangular; 3) poorly developed anterior ribbing; and 4) no ocular organs on the siphonal tentacles.</p> <p>TYPE SPECIES. — <i>Pseudofulvia caledonica</i> n. sp. by present designation.</p> </body> </html>
