Figs 44-46 Type material. Holotype MNHN IM-2000-27433, paratypes MNHN/62 IM-2000-27434, NMBE 516871/10. Type locality: Viti Levu, Waivisa karst, 50-80 m, rainforest, -17.6879 178.4033, leg. Bouchet, 27.08.1998. Etymology. Latin numeral tres = three, and adjective lamellatus, -a, -um for possessing lamellae. Diagnosis. Shell sinistral, very small, teleoconch sculpture of coarse ribs, initially widely, then densely, spaced, last whorl ascending, aperture circular, detached from last whorl, with a palatal and a parietal lamella and broad columellar plate. Description. Shell sinistral, very small, whitish to yellowish; last whorl strongly constricted; protoconch broad, obtuse with a pitted microsculpture; umbilicus closed, very narrow periomphalum; teleoconch sculpture initially of coarse widely spaced ribs, changing to a more dense pattern on the central whorls, with a few very strong ribs on the last whorl; last whorl strongly ascending; aperture almost circular, not connected to the last whorl, peristome doubled and funnel-shaped, apertural rims connected; no dentition visible in the aperture by frontal view; internally with a palatal and a parietal lamella, columellar plate broad, subdivided into an inner and outer part, inner part with a slight notch. Operculum corneous, flat, with a short apophysis, OD = 0.39. Measurements. Holotype (Fig. 44): H = 2.37; D = 1.91; PH = 1.13; PD = 1.17; W = 5. Figures 44-46.

Figure 44 x 10, Figure 46 x 40 magnification. Distribution (Fig. 170). only known from the type locality. Remarks. Diancta trilamellata sp. n. superficially resembles Diancta martensi , but differs from it by its smaller size, the detached aperture, and the presence of a parietal lamella.
