Protoconch broken. Teleoconch with at least 28 whorls; two main spiral cords (median and abapical), with a very narrow adapical spiral cordlet becoming more evident in late whorls, remaining weak on body whorl but slightly nodulous; distinct suture, with a narrow, smooth sutural cord; 15 slightly opisthocline axial ribs on 24 +th +whorl (regarding broken apex); medium-sized, slightly elliptical nodules; wide, smooth subperipheral cord, two smooth basal cords right below it; three supranumerical cords, below each spiral cord (supranumerical cord below abapical spiral cord weakest); elliptical aperture, +3.4 mm +long, +2.2 mm +wide, length/width ratio 1.5; open, very short anterior canal, +0.45 mm +long, +0.80 mm +wide, length/width ratio 0.6. Shell mainly beige, with suture, adapical spiral cordlet and base light brown, and eight initial teleoconch whorls whitish. + + +Head-foot white, with part of intestine greyish; very reduced eyes; extended proboscis reaches +3.3 mm +in length, 4.8× as long as extended cephalic tentacles ( +0.69 mm +long); pedal slit covering 71% of foot length. Operculum elliptical, flat, semi-transparent, with poorly distinct whorls, nucleus slightly eccentric, dislocated 31% from center toward margin; diameter of opercular pouch 83% of diameter of operculum. Inner side of jaw with scales gem-shaped (typically 20.6–24.0 µm long, 7.6–8.4 µm wide, ratio length/width 2.7–2.8) at margins, or leaf-shaped (typically 31.8–34.9 µm long, 14.0–15.8 µm wide, ratio length/width 2.0–2.5) at middle portion; outer side of jaw with scales mainly rectangular ( +16.9– 51.1 mm +long, +5.1–21.9 mm +wide, ratio length/width 2.3–3.7), rectangular-bilobed (23.8–26.9 µm long, 10.0–11.2 µm wide, ratio length/width 2.1–2.5), squared (13.4–22.6 µm long), hexagonal (14.5–17.4 µm long, 13.0–14.1 µm wide, ratio length/width 1.1–1.2) or curved with extremities slightly to considerably unequal in width (21.0–25.4 µm long, 9.8–14.2 µm wide, ratio length/width 1.6–2.6). Radula with little differentiation in teeth morphology, formula not discernible (but at least 27 overcrowded teeth per row); all teeth with elongated cusps and a small basal area; central tooth scissor-like, with two equal cusps, 2.4–2.8 µm wide; remaining teeth 2.5–3.6 µm wide, with three cusps, innermost (cusp 1) often thinner and shorter (~50–75% of length) than cusps 2 and 3, but occasionally reaching same length. + + + + +Fig. 18. + +Strobiligera +cf. +ibex +( +Dall, 1881 +) + +, MNHN-IM-2013-61225, stn CP4618, 33.3 mm.

Based on +Dall (1881) +and the subsequent drawing by +Dall (1889a) +, + +S +. +ibex + +has 19 teleoconch whorls (apex broken), contrasting with the shell designated as +lectotype +by +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) +, which is +10.4 mm +long for ~14 teleoconch whorls (apex broken) and apparently has a more distinct last whorl than the shell illustrated by +Dall (1889a) +. It is possible that there is more type material of + +S +. +ibex + +hidden in some collections that has not been imaged yet; e.g., +Dall (1881) +described a complete protoconch, which has not been reported again in the recent literature. Apart from the difference in shell size, the original description, the drawing and available photographs of the types are in considerable agreement with the specimen from +Guadeloupe +, including the excavated suture and very late development of the adapical spiral cord on the teleoconch [whereas the similar + +Strobiligera colon +( +Dall, 1881 +) + +comb. nov. +has an indistinct suture and adapical cord], the presence of two basal cords in addition to the subperipheral cord ( +Dall 1881 +) and the reduced anterior canal (disproportional in relation to the shell length). + + +The specimen from Guadeloupe is nearly identical to two shells from +Mexico +and the Straits of Florida identified as + +I +. +colon + +by +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008 +: fig. 16e–f), but these authors recognized the possibility of an erroneous identification. These two shells reach +20.3 mm +and +29.4 mm +in length, with broken apex. +Fernandes & Pimenta (2019a) +recognized the similarity between these two shells and the +holotype +(but not all shells) of + +S +. +unicornium + +, described from NE +Brazil +( +Simone 2006 +). In fact, the description of the protoconch of + +S +. +ibex + +by +Dall (1881) +is very similar to the protoconchs tentatively assigned to + +S +. +unicornium + +by +Fernandes & Pimenta (2019a) +. The +holotype +of + +S +. +unicornium + +has a broken apex, and the broad interpretation of + +S +. +unicornium + +by +Fernandes & Pimenta (2019a) +encompasses shells with a highly varied development of the adapical spiral cord on the teleoconch, although more or less in a continuum. More material (with protoconch) from these deep-sea triphorids is necessary prior to suggesting any synonymy. + + + +Fig. 19. + +Strobiligera +cf. +ibex +( +Dall, 1881 +) + +, MNHN-IM-2013-61225, stn CP4618. +A +.
