Griffin & Nielsen (2008): TYPE MATERIAL. The holotype is housed in the Darwin Collection under number NHM-G26407. REMARKS. The only specimen is a fairly well preserved shell with three prominent spiral cords around the periphery, a smooth, wide, weakly concave sutural ramp and about 12 weaker cords on the base and canal; the succeeding whorl rides up onto the preceeding whorl to the periphery (base of the sutural ramp), so the spire is low and stepped and the shell seems to have a calcitic outer shell-layer. “Fusus” pyruliformis is tentatively placed in Peonza Olivera in Olivera et al. 1994 [type species Peonza torquata Olivera, in Olivera et al. 1994] because it seems to be closely related to Peonza benjamina Olivera, in Olivera et al. 1994. |
