Sibogasyrinx lancea is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.[1]
Description
The length of the shell attains 40 mm.
The species is characterized by a subsutural row of rounded knobs. This is not found in any species of Leucosyrinx, but is, conversely, present in all species of Sibogasyrinx and Comispira. Moreover, a very similar specimen, collected off Luzon, Philippines, at similar depths (518–538 m) was recently sequenced and a partial cox1 sequence confidently places it in Sibogasyrinx. Therefore, the species is transferred to Sibogasyrinx.[2]
Distribution
This bathyal species occurs off the Pratas Island, South China Sea at depths between 430 m and 610 m.
