Species Pleurotoma discors Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Two syntypes are present in the Darwin Collection: NHM- G26403 (Plate 20, Figures 20-21) and G26404 (Plate 20, Figures 18-19). However, these do not belong to the same species. G26404 is here selected as lectotype to clearly identify this species. REMARKS. This species is assigned to Ptychosyrinx Thiele, 1925 [type species Pleurotoma (Subulata) bisinuata von Martens, 1901] – a subgenus of Gemmula Weinkauff, 1875 [type species Pleurotoma gemmata Reeve, 1843 (non Conrad, 1835) = Gemmula hindsiana Berry, 1958] because of its sculptural features, which resemble very much the Recent Chilean G. (Ptychosyrinx) chilensis Berry (1968), the only Recent eastern Pacific species of this subgenus. Gemmula (Ptychosyrinx) pseudodiscors is similar to some species of Comitas Finlay, 1926 [type species Drillia fusiformis Hutton, 1877] but we prefer to maintain this species in Ptychosyrinx until sinus position and protoconch are known from well preserved specimens.
