Original diagnosis. “ C. ( Elephantulum ) t. juniore vitrea, diaphana, adulta solida; liris validis quadratis et interstitiis profundis ornata; aperturam versus haud tumente; septo ungulato, subprominente, apice obtuso, paululum dextrorsum verso, margine laterali subrecto; operculo?” Carpenter (1857: 315).
Description. Protoconch unknown. Teleoconch I short, sculptured with narrow longitudinal ribs and weak striae, crossed by fine axial growth lines ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ), transition to teleoconch II marked by axial incised line ( Fig. 37A View FIGURE 37 ). Teleoconch II about 4.5 times length of teleoconch I, sculptured with identical characters as previous stage ( Fig. 37C View FIGURE 37 ), transition to teleoconch III marked by axial incised line ( Fig. 37A View FIGURE 37 ). Teleoconch III sculptured with low, flattened, longitudinal ribs and weak striae, crossed by axial growth lines ( Fig. 37D View FIGURE 37 ), transition to teleoconch IV marked by rapid increase in diameter ( Fig. 37B View FIGURE 37 ). Teleoconch IV sculptured with rounded longitudinal ribs and weak striae ( Fig. 37F View FIGURE 37 ), transition to teleoconch V marked by suture ( Fig. 38A View FIGURE 38 ). Teleoconch V (last growth stage) large for genus [Tol 2.61–3.10 mm], tubular, thick, robust, mildly to moderately and regularly arched [Larc: 0.90–1.03 mm; Arc: 0.22–0.25 mm], subcylindrical, with slight increase in diameter from posterior to aperture, semi-translucent white ( Figs. 36 View FIGURE 36 A–B). Longitudinal sculpture comprised of 15–20 strong, regularly spaced ribs ( Fig. 37H View FIGURE 37 ). Longitudinal interspaces wider than ribs ( Figs. 37 View FIGURE 37 G–H). Surface glossy, with fine, continuous, longitudinal striae in interspaces of longitudinal ridges ( Fig. 37G View FIGURE 37 ). Posterior [Dpe: 0.49–0.55 mm] with thick edge, squared shoulder ( Fig. 36C View FIGURE 36 ). Septum mucronate, inflated ( Fig. 36C View FIGURE 36 ). Mucro heel-like, positioned on dorsal margin ( Fig. 36C View FIGURE 36 ). Aperture [Da: 0.60–0.74 mm] thick, slightly flared ( Fig. 38H View FIGURE 38 ). No varix. Lip smooth, with deflected peristome ( Fig. 36C View FIGURE 36 ). Periostracum thin, smooth, light tan ( Fig. 36A View FIGURE 36 ). Operculum thin, light brown; exterior surface with 6–7 concentric rings ( Figs. 36 View FIGURE 36 D–E). Conceptual reconstruction of growth stages shown in Fig. 38A View FIGURE 38 .
Distribution and Habitat. From Saladita Bay, Guaymas, Mexico to Tumbes, Peru. Intertidal to 45 m. Uncommon subtidally on sand and rubble substrates.
Remarks. The type material of Caecum insculptum is comprised of one subadult and one adult (NHMUK 1857.6.4.1514, Fig. 36F View FIGURE 36 ). Raines and Pizzini (2009: 120) made reference to a “ Caecum insculptum ” complex, which represents a group of caecids with longitudinal lines and grooves. Of all the eastern Pacific species, C. insculptum has the most well-developed longitudinal grooves. Raines and Pizzini (2009: 116) also suggested C. mirabile and C. mirificum de Folin, 1867 were synonyms. However, further examination suggests that the type material of C. mirabile (MNHN-IM-2000-4593, Fig. 36G View FIGURE 36 ) is actually conspecific with C. insculptum .
