The Vetigastropoda (Mollusca) of Walters Shoal, with descriptions of two new genera and thirty new species Author Herbert, David G. text European Journal of Taxonomy 2024 2024-02-28 923 1 119 https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2445/10835 journal article 10.5852/ejt.2024.923.2445 2118-9773 10727741 AD68CEDD-2F2D-4010-BE7A-1B1AE9E4A0F3 Genus Bichoristes McLean, 1992 Type species Bichoristes wareni McLean, 1992 (original designation), Recent, Norfolk Ridge. Remarks Bichoristes is a monotypic genus and is the only choristellid in which the shell is planispiral rather than helically coiled. However, the jaw and radula closely resemble those of other choristellid genera ( McLean 1992 ) and thus like them, B. wareni is assumed to live within spent elasmobranch egg cases and to feed on decomposing bacteria growing on the inner egg case wall.
