Diagnosis.
Length to
20 mm
; shell globose; umbo prominent, situated subcentral and prosogyrate; periostracum yellowish; sculpture with fine radial ribs, somewhat stronger posteriorly; posterior area incipiently rostrate, with only commarginal lines; pallial sinus not reaching further anterior than posterior adductor scar; pallial line thin or obscure.
Remarks.
Huber (2010)
thought this species is the synonym of
Cryptomya (Venatomya) semistriata
(
Hanley 1842
)
.
Swennen
et al.
(2001)
recognized
Tugonia semistriata
(
Sowerby II, 1875
) [sic] as a synonym of
T. princeps
A. Adams, 1851
. But judged from the figures by
Sowerby II (1875
: pl. 2, fig. 6a, b) and
Swennen
et al.
(2001
: p. 97, fig. 209),
C (V.) semistriata
has a deeper pallial sinus whereas it is diminutive in
T. (T.) huanghaiensis
. In addition, the ventral margin of
T. (T.) huanghaiensis
is much more convex than in
C. (V.) semistriata
, and its umbo is much larger and more inflated.
