In addition, they applied the name + +Inella triserialis +( +Dall, 1881 +) + +to a very similar morph from +Martinique +. The few apparent differences between these two morphs are the smaller shell length ( +10 mm +in the figured shell of the morph named as + +I +. +triserialis + +vs +20.7 mm +in the figured shell of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +) and the earlier development of the median spiral cord in the supposed + +I +. +triserialis + +. Adult shells from Karubenthos 2 also show a broad range in length ( +8.7–20.1 mm +), which results in large differences with respect to where the median spiral cord of the teleoconch emerges (between the fourth and eight whorls, respectively in small and large shells). However, there is little variation in the dimensions and number of protoconch whorls (2.5–3.0), the more or less inflated first protoconch whorl and certain teleoconch features (e.g., the number of axial ribs). I cannot split the current identification of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +from +Guadeloupe +in more than one species, and I regard + +I +. +triserialis + +from +Martinique +( +Lamy & Pointier 2018 +) as conspecific. + + +The protoconch of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +from +Guadeloupe +matches that of a juvenile from the +Florida +Keys, +USA +( +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008 +: fig. 10f), which was up to now the only image of a protoconch of this species. The only inconsistency between the shells from +Florida +, +Bahamas +and +Cuba +described by +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) +and those from +Guadeloupe +( +Lamy & Pointier 2018 +; this study) is related to which spiral cord is slightly more prominent on the teleoconch: in the first study it is the abapical one, whereas in +Guadeloupe +it is the adapical one. The shell with unspecified locality shown by +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008 +: fig. 10b, g) is certainly from another species if compared to shells from +Guadeloupe +, with the adapical cord even weaker than the median cord in later whorls. The welldeveloped, almost closed posterior canal of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +is illustrated in shells from +Guadeloupe +( +Fig. 4J +; +Lamy & Pointier 2018 +: fig. 8b) and in the +lectotype +( +Dall 1889a +, +1889b +). + + +Dall (1889b) +put the northern limit of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +at Cape Hatteras, +North Carolina +( +USA +), and the southern limit in +Cuba +(but the species is also present in the Florida Keys and in the ‘West Indies’, a term which comprises +Cuba +). The record from Cape Hatteras, reproduced by +Abbott (1974) +and + +Rosenberg +et al +. (2009) + +, seems to be a mistake, because +Dall (1889b) +did not list the species for the so-called ‘districts’ in the respective columns, from +New Jersey +to Biscayne Bay ( +Florida +). This species seems to be mostly from the Caribbean deep sea, apparently extending northwards to +Louisiana +, +USA +( +Garcia & Lee 2002 +, +2020 +; although not illustrated). The records from +Brazil +provided by +Rios (1985 +, +1994 +, +2009 +) are erroneous ( +Fernandes & Pimenta 2019a +). + + +There are errors in the literature in relation to the bathymetric range of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +. +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) +cited +175 m +as the depth for the +lectotype +(repeated by +Bakker & Albano 2022 +), but +Dall (1889a) +indicated the depth as 175–450 fathoms (= +320–823 m +). Accordingly, the coordinates cited here for the +lectotype +follow the +MCZ +Invertebrate Zoology online database (https://mcz.harvard.edu/invertebrate-zoology-research-collection), but not those provided by +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) +, with a wrong latitude. +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) +did not provide the depth for the lots ANSP 368279 ( +Bahamas +) and ANSP 312592 (Florida Keys), but the online database of the respective collection (http://clade.ansp.org/malacology/collections/) indicates respectively +500 m +and +183 m +(here followed). The broad depth range ( +73–1040 m +) provided by + +Rosenberg +et al +. (2009) + +is partly erroneous, because the depth of +1040 m +was based on +Rios (1985 +, +1994 +, +2009 +), i.e., a wrong identification for shells from +Brazil +; the shallowest record is based on the depth range ( +73–402 m +) which +Abbott (1974) +provided for this species from West Florida, and it requires confirmation because the material was not figured. + + +Anatomic features of “ + +I +.” +longissima + +are herein studied for the first time. The species has welldeveloped eyes ( +Fig. 2C +), considerably larger than those of + +Strobiligera +species + +from deeper waters ( +Fig. 18B +), suggesting that “ + +I +.” +longissima + +is not confined to waters with a complete absence of light. The operculum with a subcentral nucleus and the radula with many, weakly differentiated comb-like teeth (but marginal teeth considerably reduced) perfectly match with the current concept of + +Monophorus +Grillo, 1877 + +( +Fernandes & Pimenta 2019b +).

Protoconch multispiral, columnar, 4.0–6.0 whorls, +0.84–1.48 mm +long, +0.55–0.66 mm +wide; first whorl smooth, not inflated; on second whorl two thin spiral cordlets appear (situated at 34–37% and 66–73% of whorl height), but abapical spiral cordlet sometimes thinner than adapical one and may appear only on third whorl; both cordlets may resemble only slight elevations in some shells instead of true cordlets due to their minute width; transition to teleoconch gradual, nearly indistinct. Teleoconch with up to 28 whorls; two spiral cords (adapical and abapical) in beginning of teleoconch, continuous with cordlets of protoconch; median spiral cord emerges narrowly between fourth and sixth whorls, bordering closely to adapical cord, slowly developing and reaching nearly same size as other cords only on body whorl (abapical cord can be slightly more developed than other cords in late whorls); suture shallow, with a smooth sutural cord; 18–19 opisthocline axial ribs on 18 +th +teleoconch whorl; medium-sized, nearly rounded to slightly elliptical nodules; slightly nodulous to nearly smooth subperipheral cord, with a smooth, thin basal cord right below it; no supranumerical cord; elliptical aperture, +1.4–1.5 mm +long, 1.0– +1.3 mm +wide, length/ width ratio 1.2–1.3; anterior canal open to partially open, directed downward, +0.60–0.74 mm +long, +0.46–0.53 mm +wide, length/width ratio 1.3–1.5; posterior canal as a deep sinus, almost detached from aperture.

Agreeing with the original description and illustrations, shells from +Guadeloupe +are highly variable with respect to the size and number of protoconch whorls (although always multispiral, with at least four whorls), the strength of the spiral cordlets of the protoconch and the strength of the abapical spiral cord of the teleoconch ( +Fig. 6 +). The variation in the size and number of protoconch whorls may be related to the duration of embryonal growth within the egg; see +Fernandes & Pimenta (2019a) +for a discussion on other triphorids with a supposed long duration of intracapsular metamorphosis, resulting in multispiral protoconchs for species with a supposed non-planktotrophic development. + + + + + +Geographic distribution + + + +USA +: +Florida +( +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008 +); +Cuba +( +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008 +); +Guadeloupe +(this study). + + + +Bathymetric distribution + + + +Empty shells previously known from +77–823 m +( +Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008 +).
