Comispira Kantor, Fedosov & Puillandre 2018
Genus Comispira Kantor, Fedosov & Puillandre, 2018 (family Cochlespiridae) Comispira Kantor, Fedosov & Puillandre, 2018: 48. Type species Leucosyrinx mai Li & Li, 2008 (OD). Remarks Species of this genus resemble Sibogasyrinx in the presence of the subsutural row of nodules, but differ in usually more pronounced spiral sculpture on the shell base, of broadly-spaced and rather strong spiral cords. It should be mentioned that some species of Comispira, whose generic position is confirmed by molecular analysis, can have very weak, nearly obsolete subsutural nodules and rather uniform weak spiral sculpture on the shell base (Kantor et al. 2022). The radula is similar to that of Sibogasyrinx. The mentioned diagnostic characters of Leucosyrinx and of similar genera allowed critical re-assessment of numerous species described on the basis of the shells alone and attributed to the above mentioned genera at one point or another.
