(largest juvenile specimen).
Remarks.
The MD
55 specimens
are all juvenile and fragmentary but retain enough conchological features to allow identification, such as the faintly purple-colored initial teleoconch whorls that also show well-marked axial undulations, the overall shell profile, and the compatible height/width ratio (~1.45 according to
Simone &
Cunha
2006
). The new records from the MD55 expedition presented herein are the first published since the original description and expand the range of the species ca.
470 km
to the north. The bathymetric range is also expanded from the previously known maximum depth of
800 m
to
940 m
.
