Remarks
The only specimen has a less strong sculpture than that of the
syntype
of
Pseudodaphnella crasselirata
(
Hervier 1897a
)
in NHMUK. In the present paper, we concur with
Hedley (1922)
that Hervier’ s
crasselirata
should be treated as a full species “in view of the confusion that surrounds
Pleurotoma albifuniculata
Reeve, 1846
, I have preferred to use Hervier’ s name” (
Hedley 1922
, p. 346). Actually in the absence of type material of the latter, and in view of the unrecognizable type figure,
Pleurotoma albofuniculata
is here regarded as a
nomen dubium
.
