Etymology.
The name is a genitive singular of the Latin word insula, meaning
'island'
, which refers to the Mantanani islands, the main collecting locality.
Description.
Protoconch. Colour: orange. Sculpture pattern: a mix of rounded and ellipsoidal sculpture. Mesh width: 1.5-12.0
µm
. Teleoconch. Colour: orange. First whorl: convex. Subsequent whorls: convex. Suture: well-impressed. Shoulder: narrow. Number of whorls: 2
3/4-
3
1/4
. SH: 1.78-2.11 mm. SW: 1.21-1.40 mm. SI: 1.42-1.51. Shell sculpture. Radial sculpture: absent, weak growth lines present throughout the shell surface. Spiral sculpture: present, strong, regularly spaced, ca. 10-12 spiral ribs on the body whorl of the adult individual, developed immediately after the protoconch; more densely spaced spiral ribs at the basal part of the body whorl, becoming weaker closer
to
the columellar region. Aperture. Shape: rounded to slightly ovoid, straight to concave parietal side, palatal edge contiguous with the body whorl, basal side convex. AH: 0.66-0.79 mm. AW: 0.74-0.84 mm. AI: 0.89-0.94. Holotype dimensions. SH: 2.11 mm, SW: 1.40 mm, AH: 0.79 mm, AW: 0.84 mm.
Diagnosis.
Georissa insulae
is characterised by the strong and regularly spaced spiral ribs throughout the entire shell. This shell sculpture is similar to that of
G. hungerfordi
and
G. trusmadi
, but less raised than in these two species.
Georissa insulae
has
a greater number of spiral ribs, ca. 10-12 ribs on its shell compared to these two species. The shell habitus is distinctly elongated compared to other spirally ribbed Bornean
Georissa
.
Distribution.
Known from islands of Mantanani Kecil, Mantanani Besar, Lungisan, and on the mainland from Pitas to Kinabalu National Park, Sabah.
Molecular analysis.
ML and Bayesian analyses of
G. insulae
(16S: n = 4) show that
G. filiasaulae
form one clade with 100% BS and 100% PP. Sister to the rest of
"non-scaly"
Georissa
, except for
G. hungerfordi
+
G. gomantonensis
+
G. filiasaulae
.
