Genus Xanthodaphne Powell, 1942 Type species: Pleurotoma membranacea Watson, 1886, by original designation. Remarks : The protoconch is missing in the type specimen, Pleurotoma (Thesbia) membranacea Watson, 1886. However, Xanthodaphne maoria Dell, 1956, has a protoconch diagonally cancelled with two whorls (Powell, 1942: 166). According to Bouchet & Warén (1980: 63), this genus is characterized by a sculpture of thin furrows and the presence of an anal sinus, which distinguishes it from the similar genus Lusitanops Nordsieck, 1968. Xanthodaphne can also be distinguished from the strongly shouldered genus Gymnobela , by its mostly smooth, evenly rounded whorls (Bouchet & Warén, 1980: 63). : Published as part of Figueira, Raquel Medeiros Andrade & Absalão, Ricardo Silva, 2012, Deep-water Raphitomidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Conoidea) from the Campos Basin, southeast Brazil, pp. 1-27 in Zootaxa 3527 on page 10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.210977 : {"references": ["Powell, A.
