Ovoid with short rostrum, shell shiny sub-translucent. Sculpture of fine closely spaced commarginal lamellae. Specimen NHM_381 length 2 mm (Fig. 8). Figure 8. Ledella sp. (NHM_381). Scale bar: 1 mm. Image attribution Glover, Dahlgren & Wiklund, 2017. Genetic data. GenBank NHM_144 16S-MF157458, COI-MF157504; NHM_381 18S-MF157494, COI-MF157521. Remarks. This species is morphologically very similar to the new Ledella knudseni , its sister taxon in the molecular phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 12), and DNA might be required to properly identify the species. No genetic matches on GenBank. Ecology. Found in polymetallic nodule province.
