( Figs 10A, B ; 12C ) TYPE MATERIAL. — Guadeloupe , holotype ( MNHN IM-2000-27732 ) . TYPE LOCALITY. — East of Fajou Island , Guadeloupe , in 80 and 90 m deep. ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honour of Dominique Lamy. DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE Protoconch unknown.Teleoconch oval, H 7.9 mm , up to 3.8 mm in width. Spire high of four rounded whorls. Last whorl of 76% of the total length of teleoconch. Apical angle of 53°. Spiral sculpture consisting in equally primary and secondary cords. On last whorl: convex part of the whorl, P1 to P5; siphonal canal, P6, ADP, MP and ABP. Axial sculpture: first whorls, eight to nine protovarices; from third to fourth whorl, appearance of two lateral varices giving to the shell a bivaricate shape, Between two varices five intervarical ribs. Aperture oval, with a adherent columellar lip. Anal canal open, tubular and formed by P1 cord spine. Outer lip flaring, slightly erected with denticles from D1 to D4. Siphonal canal open, of 26% of the total length of teleoconch and dorsally recurved. Shell white. Operculum and radula unknown. COMPARISON Lindapterys domlamyi n. sp. is compared with L. sanderi Petuch, 1987 ( Fig. 10C, F, G ), the single living species occurring in the western Atlantic area and to the type species of the genus, L. vokesae Petuch, 1987 ( Fig. 10D, E ). Lindapterys sanderi differs by the number of its protovarices on the first whorls (between 10 and 20), by a higher spire, by an outer lip widely flaring, by five denticles D1 to D5 (instead four in L. domlamyi n. sp. ) and by a larger adult size ( 17.2 mm instead 7.9 mm in L. domlamyi n. sp. ). Lindapterys vokesae has twelve to thirteen protovarices on the first whorls and the lateral varices appear earlier since the second whorl.
