Summary: | Brookula charleenae sp. nov. (Figs 5–6) Type material Holotype (ZSM Mol 20070879), leg. Michael Schrödl, March 22 2002, during the ANT XIX/4 (ANDEEP II) expedition. Two paratypes (ZSM Mol 20070880) from type locality, all specimens were fixed and preserved in 75% ethanol except for the SEMmounted holotype. Type locality: Antarctica, South Sandwich Islands, St. PS 61/140–08 (58°15.98’S 24°53.72’W to 58°16.13’S 24°53.87’W), 2947–2970 m (Fig. 6). Etymology: The species is named after the first author’s daughter Charleen Schwabe. Description: Shell minute, reaching 1.42 mm long and 1.25 mm wide (Fig. 5A), globosely turbinate, fragile, white in color, with roundly inflated whorls, slightly expanded laterally, low spired, spire angle ranges from 70° (holotype) to 81° (larger paratype). Protoconch (Figs 5C, D) of 1.5 whorls, 278 µm in diameter, 220 µm high, globose, sculptured with fine anastomosing threads, forming reticulate pattern. Teleoconch (Fig. 5A) of up to 2.75 whorls with convex profile. Suture deeply ... : Published as part of Schwabe, Enrico & Engl, Winfried, 2008, Description of two new deepwater species of the genus Brookula Iredale, 1912 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Trochoidea), with a revision of the genus for the Subantarctic and Arctic Sector of the Atlantic Ocean *, pp. 187-204 in Zootaxa 1866 on pages 194-195, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183706 ... |
