Inquisitor sp. 1

( Figure 3E )

Material examined

ECS. One specimen, CN H21 B-45, 31°00′ N, 123°30′ E, muddy sand, 50.5 m, AT, 10 February 1959 .

Measurements

See Table 1.

Distribution

ECS.

Remarks

The single specimen collected from ECS in 1959, was reported by Hasegawa et al. (2000) as Inquisitor chocolatus ( Smith, 1875) , but is very different to the holotype of Pleurotoma (Drillia) chocolata (BMNH 1873.8.6.8, examined by Kilburn). This specimen displays no obvious distinctive characters, and more material is obviously needed.
