Remarks.
The present specimens are young individuals with up to 5½ whorls. Adult specimens have around 7 whorls according to
Simone &
Cunha
(2006)
. Additionally, juveniles lack a well-developed callus and reflected lip. The MD
55 specimens
compare well with the
holotype
in that they present the strongly marked reticulate sculpture on the apical side of the whorls (
Fig. 6 B
), the dominant well-marked spiral sculpture that produces a slightly keeled shell profile (
Fig. 6 A
), and a similarly sculptured periumbilical region, with numerous axial furrows (
Fig. 6 C
). The youngest specimens (~3¾ whorls, protoconch included) have a distinct rounder profile (
Fig. 6 E
), which is compatible with the earliest whorls of older individuals. Nevertheless, the first spiral cords appear at 3½ whorls (
Fig. 6 F
), at which point the shell becomes characteristically keeled. The specimens analyzed here are very similar to the individual reported by
Simone &
Cunha
(2006
: figs 58–60), which was mentioned by
Dall (1889
: 342) as a record from
Brazil
. Dall’s specimen was collected off Fortaleza,
Ceará
state, R/V Albatross sta. 2756, at
716 m
depth. The present records thus represent a range expansion of over
1,800 km
further south to Brazilian waters.
