Figured syntypes: NHMW 84203 (station 130; height: 6.6 mm, figured in Sturany 1903 , plate II, figures 2a-b), NHMW 84205 (station 135): 1 specimen (figured in Sturany 1903 , plate II, figures 1a-b). Further syntypes: NHMW 71640/O/745 (station 130): 2 specimens; NHMW 84196 (station 48): 2 specimens; NHMW 84197 (station 51): 3 specimens; NHMW 84198 (station 54): 5 specimens; NHMW 84199 (station 107): 2 specimens; NHMW 84200 (station 114): 5 specimens; NHMW 84201 (station 121): 1 specimen; NHMW 84202 (station 127): 1 specimen; NHMW 84204 (station 130): 12 specimens. Original description. Von den Stationen 48, 51, 54, 107, 114, 121, 127, 130 (439 - 748 m). Diese Form ist von Nassa munda durch die bedeutend spaerlicher vorhandenen, jedoch schaerfer ausgepraegten Querrippen unterschieden, zwischen denen die Spiralstreifung deutlich sichtbar wird. Mit Ausnahme der glatten Anfangswindungen tragen die Umgaenge oben naechst der Naht eine besonders abgesetzte Koernchenreihe . Hoehe des Gehaeuses circa 7 1/2, Breite circa 3 1/2 mm; Muendung circa 3 1/2 mm hoch und 2 mm breit. Wie Nassa munda m. in der continentalen Zone gefunden, in Tiefen zwischen 439 und 748 m. Figure 12. Nassa lathraia Sturany, 1900, Station 130 (Al Qunfudhah, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea). A-B , D-G , I . Figured syntype, NHMW 84203: front ( A-B ), right side ( D-E ), back ( F ), protoconch ( G, I ). C . Original figure by Sturany (1903) . H . Original label of figured syntype. Scale bars: A-B , D-F : 1 mm, G , I : 0.2 mm. Translation. From stations 48, 51, 54, 107, 114, 121, 127, 130 (439 - 748 m). Distinguished from Nassa munda by the much sparser, but more sharply pronounced axial ribs between which the spiral stripes are clearly visible. Except for the smooth initial whorls, the others bear a tubercled cord on their upper part next to the suture. Shell height about 7.5, width about 3.5 mm; mouth about 3.5 mm high and 2 mm wide. Like Nassa munda , it is found in the continental zone, at depths of 439-748 m. Comments. For discussion of relationships and nomenclature see under Nassa munda .
