Diagnosis.
Shell large (up to
54 mm
), oval-oblong; spire medium height; columella straight, aperture narrow; posterior columellar callus distinct; fasciolar band dark brown with irregular axial lines; shell bluish.
Description.
Shell oval-oblong, solid, somewhat thick (~
1 mm
), smooth, glossy; protoconch of 1 2/3 whorls, translucent; spire of medium height, of 3 3/4 to 4 convex whorls, transition to teleoconch indistinct; suture channeled, columellar callus uniform, reaching to the suture; aperture elongated, 7/8 of total shell length; outer lip smooth, curved; columella slightly convex, 10–12 anterior oblique folds, 3 or 4 pronounced folds parallel to columellar edge; fasciolar band dark brown with irregular axial lines; posterior groove deep; siphonal channel deep (
Figures 15A
–J).
Shell ultrastructure of three layers: as in
O
. auricularia
(
Figure 16
B).
Radula (
Figure 16
A) as in
O
. urceus
.
Color of living specimens white with dark purple on the foot, siphon alternating between purple and brown. Penis elongated with tip rounded (
Figure 16
C) as in
O
. deshayesiana
, siphon (
Figure 16
D) as in
O
. urceus
.
Egg capsules semispherical with the attached surface elliptical, the walls rigid as in
O
. deshayesiana
. A large operculum (
Figures 16
E–F) covers the whole capsule, which contains a single embryo. Egg capsules are laid on living specimens of
Buccinanops globulosus
,
Olivella tehuelcha
and
O
. puelcha

Remarks.
Revision of the
type
material of
O
. buckuporum
Thomé 1966
(
Figures 15
D–F) from Cassino,
Brazil
suggested that it is a local variant of
O
. carcellesi
and therefore the name is a junior synonym, as previously reported by
Rios (1970)
and
Thomé
et al
. (2004)
.
Oliva steeriae
Reeve, 1850
(
Figures 14
C–D) with
type
locality the Republic of
Gambia
, was reported from the coast of
Brazil
by several authors (
i.e.
: Lange de
Morretes 1949
,
Rios 1970
,
1975
) however it was not found in any of the revised collections. Given the shell size and the completely uncovered channeled suture, it could belong to
Agaronia
. However soft parts were not available to analyze anatomical characteristics (
e.g.
the morphology of the seminal vesicle) that differentiates both genera (Pimenta 2005).

Lange de
Morretes (1949)
and
Rios (1970
,
1975
) mentioned
Olivancillaria steeriae
from some localities between São Paulo and Espírito Santo states,
Brazil
based on some doubtful specimens. Later
Rios (1985)
cited those specimens as
Olivancillaria vesica vesica
. Shell shape (
Figures 15
G–J), penes and siphon morphology of these specimens identified as “
O
. steeriae
” by Lange (
non
Reeve) are comparable to
O
. carcellesi
, suggesting that this material is only a variation of the latter species at the northern limit of its distribution. When this material (here cited as
O
.
cf.
carcellesi
) is included in the geometric morphometric analysis with all the species of the genus, the CVA shows a separated group closer to
O
. carcellesi
than to the other species (
Figure 17
). In addition, no differences in centroid size were found between these two groups (Tukey tests
P
= 0.29,
Table 1
).
As
a result of CVA of all species two groups are differentiated:
O
. vesica
and
O
. teaguei
on one side and
O
. cf. carcellesi
,
O
. contortuplicata
,
O
. orbignyi
and
O
. carcellesi
on the other. However, DFA revealed significant differences among all groups (pairwise comparisons, P <0.0001). This analysis correctly classified 94% of the species mentioned above. However, a detailed study of the anatomy and genetics of the population of
O
. cf. carcellesi
is required. If this material is confirmed as
O
. carcellesi
the range of the latter species extents to Praia do Forte, Bahia state,
Brazil
.
