Summary: | Genus Boreancistrolepis n. gen. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 4CD580A0-A245-4042-9E5B-F376E2D92D70 Diagnosis: Profile tall, whorls rounded, with rounded, narrow shoulder; suture deeply impressed; periostracum thin, shiny, closely adherent, lip extending anterior to base of pillar; sculpture faint or absent; color pattern green, two tone, base lighter; operculum large, filling aperture, outer surface strongly convex, glossy with terminal nucleus. Radula: Rachidian and lateral teeth each with three sharply pointed cusps. Type species: Boreancistrolepis excelsus n. sp. (HD). Remarks: Differs from other Parancistrolepidinae, particularly the rather similar Neancistrolepis Habe & Sato, 1973, by its thick, solid, nearly smooth shell with a tenacious, glossy periostracum and large operculum with, glossy, convex exterior, which completely fills the aperture. One Aleutian species.
