Leucosyrinx undosa (Schepman, 1913) comb. nov. Fig. 33E Surcula undosa Schepman, 1913: 61 (425), pl. 27 fig. 13a–b. Comitas undosa – Powell 1969: 282 (23-294), pl. 227 figs 3–4. Paracomitas undosa – Shuto 1970a: 170, pl. 11 figs 8–9. Type material Holotype INDONESIA • Flores Sea; 7°24′ S, 118°15.2′ E; depth 794 m; NATURALIS, ZMA.MOLL.136841. Remarks In general shell characters, including the position of the anal sinus, the species is referable to Leucosyrinx. Shuto (1970a) transferred it to Paracomitas Powell, 1942. In our opinion this is unjustified. The genus Paracomitas is characterized and differentiated from Leucosyrinx and Comitas by a protoconch of 2.5 sharply carinated whorls. The protoconch is missing in the holotype of S. undosa, the only known specimen of the species. Therefore, pending additional data, we consider it a species of Leucosyrinx. Distribution Type locality.
