Etymology.
The specific designation “ sagitta ” for the prominent oval indentation resembling a target in archery.
Diagnosis.
Shell minute, ovately conical, orangish, protoconch round to slightly ellipsoid and mix of rounded, ellipsoidal to irregular sculpture with oval indentation. Body whorl peripherally rounded with 8–9 spiral lirae. Aperture semi-rounded. Umbilicus closed. Operculum corneous with apophysis, paucispiral, opaque white, and semi-rounded.
Description.
Shell minute, dextral, orangish to brownish, ovately conical with 4.25–4.5 whorls (Fig.
2 C
). Protoconch orange consists of 1 whorl, round to slightly ellipsoid, covered with mix of rounded, ellipsoidal to irregular sculpture and a large oval indentation present (Figs
4 J
,
4 K
). Teleconch orange, consists of 3.25–3.5 whorls. Peripherally rounded, sculptured with 8–9 prominent lirae on the body whorl, crossed with weak oblique growth lines. Basal part of the body whorl, there are more densely spaced spiral cords, approximately 7–8 cords (Figs
2 C
,
4 I
). Suture incised. Aperture semi-rounded. Peristome thin, sharp, unexpanded or thickened, not reflected. Umbilicus closed. Operculum paucispiral, nucleus submarginal, corneous, opaque white, semi-rounded, thin, smooth outside surface with apophysis, inside surface with an arched peg arising from base (Fig.
4 L
).
Radula.
Ribbon-like, slender, longer and delicate towards the outside, rhipidoglossate (Fig.
5 I – L
). Central tooth five small teeth, trapezoid shape. Lateral teeth five teeth, claw-like with 7–13 alternately long and short denticles decreasing in size from the first lateral tooth toward the 5
th
lateral tooth. Marginal teeth two teeth, claw-like with 12–14 equal size denticles. Radula formula 2: 5: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1: 5: 2.
Differential diagnosis.
Georissa sagitta
sp. nov.
resembles
G. monterosatiana
Godwin-Austen & Neville, 1879
.
Georissa monterosatiana
differs in having more convex body whorl, smooth protoconch, and more lirae (9–11 instead of 8–9 lirae).
