( Figure 5 View Figure 5 (c))
Material examined
Cala Sa Tuna, Begur, NE Spain, 41°57 ʹ 38”N, 3°13 ʹ 52”E, 31 March 2021, 1 m depth, 2 spcs, adults, L = 4 mm; 2 April 2021, 3 m depth, 1 spc., L = 4 mm.
External morphology
Shell helicoidal, conical, with reticulated microsculpture, orange due to digestive gland seen by transparency. Wing flaps broad, extending over the length of the shell.
Ecology
This is a pelagic species living in offshore waters and its life cycle has not been well studied.
Distribution
Cosmopolitan; widely recorded in the Atlantic Ocean ( OBIS 2021). Portugal, Canary Islands, Strait of Gibraltar ( Cervera et al. 2004); the Mediterranean Sea from the Andalusian coast ( Cervera et al. 2004), Italy ( OBIS 2021), Greece (GBIF.org 2021) and Catalonia (this study).
Remarks
Easily identified by its morphology, but since it is a cosmopolitan and scarcely studied species, of which often only the shell is found, several specimens were collected for sequencing.
