Comitas exstructa – Powell 1969: 283 (23-295), pl. 226 fig. 1 Type material Holotype INDIAN OCEAN • Nicobar Is.; 7°48′ N, 93°07′ E; depth 805 m; whereabouts unknown. Remarks This species is based on a single strongly damaged holotype (SL 24 mm). The original drawing and the details of the sculpture provided by Thiele (1925) show a subsutural row of rounded knobs. These are not found in any species of Leucosyrinx, but are, conversely, present in all species of Sibogasyrinx and Comispira. Based on the broadly-spaced and rather strong spiral cords, we attribute the species to Comispira. Distribution Type locality.
