Description.
Shell suboval, solid, thick (~
1 mm
on the lip); surface polished, bright; spire very short with 3 1/ 2 slightly convex whorls; protoconch smooth of 1 1/4 translucent whorl; transition to teleoconch indistinct; suture channeled, 2/3 of last whorl, the rest covered by well-defined and uniform columellar callus; aperture elongated, wide, approximately 5/6 of total shell length; outer lip smooth, thin and slightly curved, some specimens with an anterior basal denticle posterior to fasciolar groove; posterior part of columella slightly convex and smooth, 4–6 anterior oblique folds; 1 or 2 pronounced folds parallel to columellar edge; fasciolar band well defined, brown to grey with axial bands, posterior groove deep; siphonal channel deep (
Figures 10
A–G).

Oliva ovata
NML 17.6.1875; F–G, lectotype of
Oliva deshayesiana
MNHN unnumbered, scale bars = 1 cm.
Shell ultrastructure composed of three layers, as in
O
. auricularia
(
Figure 11
G).
Radula (
Figures 11
A–B) as in
O
. urceus
but one or sometimes two small denticles on each side of the lateral rachidian cusps. Lateral teeth C shaped, with quadrangular base.
Live animals white in general, foot pinkish and siphon purple. Penis as in
O
. auricularia
(
Figure 11
D); siphon large, distal tip with numerous branched papillae of second and third order (
Figure 11
C).
Egg capsules semispherical, elevated, flattened and rigid, yellowish in color. A suture bisects the capsule in two equal parts. A large operculum (escape aperture) defined by a groove covering the entire capsule (
Figure 11
E). A single embryo hatches from each capsule (
Figure 11
F). Oviposition usually occurs on living substrates such as the shells of the gastropods
Buccinanops monilifer
(Kiener, 1834)
,
B. cochlidium
(
Dillwyn, 1817
)
and
B. uruguayensis

Ford (1953)
in a revision of the notes of Tomlin´s about Marrat´s
type
material mentioned the existence of one specimen that he regarded as
holotype
. According to
ICZN
article 73.1.2, “If the taxon was established before 2000 evidence derived from outside the work itself may be taken into account to help identify the specimen”. On this basis the specimen of
Oliva ovata
should be considered the
holotype
.

Remarks.
This is perhaps the most conservative species of the genus
Olivancillaria
with very little shell variation. According to the literature records
O
. deshayesiana
was recently included in
the Argentine
fauna despite its usual presence in shallow waters. After the original description several authors cited Duclos as the author of
O
. deshayesiana
however Ducros de Saint Germain is the original author. In agreement with the ICZN article 74 and in order to preserve stability of nomenclature, we designate as
lectotype
the (unnumbered) specimen (of 26.7 mm of total shell length) and the other one as
paralectotype
, both housed at MNHN. The
holotype
of
Oliva ovata
Marrat, 1871
housed at NML
17.6.1875
shows it as a synonym as it was previously reported by
Tryon (1883)
.
