Leucosyrinx undefined-2

Leucosyrinx sp. 2 Figs 19N, 20A Material examined (sequenced) SOLOMON ISLANDS • 1 lv; Santa Isabel I.; 8°49′ N, 159°43′ E; depth 765–773 m; SALOMON 2, stn CP2179; MNHN-IM-2009-16783. Description RADULA (Fig. 20A). Comprising about 35 rows of teeth, 12 nascent. Marginal teeth duplex, ~200 µm in length (2.7% AL without canal). Morphology of teeth very similar to that of Leucosyrinx sp. 1. DNA diagnosis (based on 1 (!) c ox1 sequence) ‘C’ in site 163, ‘G’ in site 517, ‘T’ in site 622. Remarks This species is represented in our material by a single specimen. It is conchologically very similar to Leucosyrinx sp. 1. Since both species are represented by singletons and intraspecific variability is not known, we can not draw morphological differences between them.
