Kempioconcha conradti (von Martens, 1895)

Figs 25, 61 Pseudoglessula conradti: von Martens 1895: 184 ; 1897: 62, 116, pl. 5, fig. 13 (Usambara, north-eastern

Tanzania; 14× 6 mm).

A common eastern African species, with a general distribution in Tanzania and Mozambique. Found at 11 stations inland and at two stations on Cabo Delgado. The shell illustrated here is quite similar in size and proportions to the type. However, only a few shells from north-eastern Mozambique have as widely spaced axial ribs on the apical whorls as von Martens (1895, 1897) highlighted .
