Comispira saudesae (Cossigniani, 2018) comb. nov. Fig. 36C–D Comitas saudesae Cossigniani, 2018: 30. Type material Holotype TAIWAN • Nord-East Taiwan; depth 300–500 m; MMM. Material examined (sequenced) PHILIPPINES • 2 lv; Luzon I.; 15°20′ N, 121°37′ E; depth 593–600 m; AURORA 2007, stn CP2729; MNHN-IM-2009-18997, MNHN-IM-2009-18998. Material examined (not sequenced) PHILIPPINES • 1 lv; off Panglao I., 9°36′ N, 123°42′ E; depth 609–673 m; PANGLAO 2005, stn CP2396; MNHN-IM-2009-13387 Remarks The species is characterized by a subsutural row of rounded knobs, which are more prominent in the paratypes. This feature is not found in any species of Leucosyrinx or Comitas, but is consistently present in all species of Sibogasyrinx and Comispira. Our specimens closely resemble the type series, particularly the paratypes. Although unpublished, molecular data place the species within Comispira. Our findings extend the known range of the species from Taiwan to the Philippines. Distribution Philippines to Taiwan, 300– 600 m.
