Remarks.
MolluscaBase (2021a)
considers
A. stilifer
as a synonym of
A. pendata
Dall, 1927
. The
holotype
of
A. stilifer
(USNM 108024) (
Figure 21A–D
) and the
holotype
of
A. pendata
(USNM 108021) (
Figure 21E–G
) are proportionally similar in size, including the width of the first protoconch whorl (
ca.
250 μm). The transition between protoconch-teleoconch is not clear (
Figure. 21D, G
). We follow this synonymy and keep the priority with the name
A. stilifer
.
