Type material
:
Holotype
:
off Mahajanga, NW
Madagascar
,
MIRIKY, Stn CP3268

15°31 S
,
45°45 E
,
640–800 m
,
MNHN-IM-2007-39090
.
Material examined
: The
holotype
and one other specimen (
MNHN-IM-
2007-39292).
Etymology
: After the general area of occurrence,
Madagascar
.
ZooBank registration
:
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:
5D585AFC-B8C7-4639-9535-74CA13427627
.
COI-based diagnosis
: Nine diagnostic (autapomorphic) positions in the alignment: 40(G), 103(C), 158(C), 283(G), 529(C), 553(C), 556(C), 605(T) and 628(G).
Shell (data for
holotype
shown within parentheses)
: Size small to medium for genus: length 6.5–11 (6.5) mm, width 4.5–9 (4.5) mm, height 2–3 (2) mm; thin, ellipsoidal or rounded, depressed; white shell surface with smooth yellowish periostracum; anterior margin rounded; protoconch of 0.9 whorl, diameter of nucleus
0.19 mm
; teleoconch smooth except for distinct commarginal growth ridges; apertural margin thin, interior glossy white; lamella from wide to narrow, width 0.8–0.92 (0.8) mm.
Soft parts (ethanol preserved)
: Cephalic tentacles whitish with grey base; pseudoproboscis whitish.
Radula
: Taenioglossate, 2-1-R-1-2; marginal teeth sickle shaped; internal marginals with a few denticles on the inner edge; lateral teeth triangular, highly denticulated on both edges; rachidian tooth triangular, highly denticulated on both edges.
Host
:
Holotype
attached to
P. caducum
(MNHN-IM-2007-39094). The second specimen of this
Hyalorisia
species (MNHN-IM-2007-39092) has a registration number close to that of a specimen of
P. sibogai
(MNHN-IM-2007-39097); the latter shows a mark on the shell that corresponds to the contour of the
Hyalorisia
specimen.
Distribution
: So far known only from
Madagascar
, at depths
425–
640 m.
Remarks
: Off
Mahajanga
,
Madagascar
(MIRIKY: Stn CP3268),
Hyalorisia madagascarensis
n. sp.
was found sympatrically with
H. lehibe
n. sp.
(MOTU-5) and syntopically with
H. kely
n. sp.
(MOTU-7).
