Description of Two New Species of Trophoninae s.l. and Typhinae (Gastropoda: Muricidae) from New Caledonia and Comments on Litozamia Iredale, 1929 and Siphonochelus Jousseaume, 1880
Venus, 71(1-2):1-11.
Abstract: Litozamia acares n. sp. and Siphonochelus (Trubatsa) wolffi n. sp. are described from
New Caledonia. The radula and the operculum of Litozamia acares are illustrated and described.
The classification of Litozamia in Trophoninae is maintained awaiting molecular data to either
confirm or modify this decision. Litozamia longior (Verco, 1909) is reinstated as a valid species.
The use of the subgenus Choreotyphis Iredale, 1936 is reinstated in Siphonochelus for a single
species from eastern Australia, based on differences in shell morphology
