Leucosyrinx canyonensis
“ Leucosyrinx ” canyonensis (Dell, 1956) Fig. 34B Antimelatoma canyonensis Dell, 1956: 142, fig. 196. Leucosyrinx canyonensis – Powell 1979: 230, fig. 53: 3. — Spencer et al. 2011. Type material Holotype NEW ZEALAND • South I., off east Otago; depth 260–350 ftm (= 475–640 m); MNZ, M.009262. Remarks The species is characterized by a small shell (SL 9.3 mm in the holotype) with strong spiral cords and a distinct crenulated shoulder carina. It is rather different from known species of Leucosyrinx, but in the absence of any data on anatomy, we retain it in Leucosyrinx with strong doubts. Distribution Type locality.
