Material examined 2 lots ( 2 specimens ). See Supp. file 1. Type material Holotype NEW ZEALAND • 18 mm ; off Raoul Island , Kermadec Islands ; 75–85 m depth ; 3 Mar. 1952 ; NHMD-91129 , previously ZMUC GAS-000805 ( Fig. 38I ). Figured material NEW CALEDONIA • 15.1 mm ; Coral Sea , Capel Bank , off New Caledonia , stn DW255; 25º15′ S , 159º55′ E ; 280‒295 m depth ; 7 Oct. 1986 ; MUSORSTOM 5 expedition; MNHN ( Fig. 38J ) • 16.9 mm ; Norfolk Ridge , Banc Kaimon Maru , off New Caledonia , stn DW2093; 24º44′ S , 168º09′ E ; 230 m depth ; 29 Oct. 2003 ; NORFOLK 2 expedition; MNHN ( Fig. 38K ) . Geographical distribution and bathymetry Known from N New Zealand (Wanganella Bank and Kermadec Islands) and Australia ( Norfolk Island ). Two dead specimens were collected in New Caledonia (Norfolk Ridge) and Coral Sea (Capel Bank) at depths between 200‒ 400 m . Fig. 42. Bathymetric range and distribution map for Conasprella ( Endemoconus ) raoulensis ( Powell, 1958 ) . Red circles indicate the points where the species was collected. Remarks Shell small (maximum shell length 22 mm ), conical to broadly conical with a moderate to high stepped spire. Teleoconch sutural ramps concave with arcuate radial threads. Last whorl with strongly granulose spiral ribs. Protoconch multispiral of about 4 whorls. Radular morphology unknown. No specimens have been sequenced. The two dead specimens collected off New Caledonia exhibit shell features consistent with those of the holotype for the species.
