Description
Shell slender, fusiform, large for genus (to 90.0 mm, ANSP 425335). Protoconch multispiral, conical, smooth, translucent pale grey, of 3.25 somewhat convex whorls, last ½ whorl with 4–6 rounded axial riblets progressing in strength, protoconch/teleoconch boundary without varix. Protoconch diameter 1100 µm, exposed height 1280 µm ( Fig. 5E View Fig ). Teleoconch whorls convex, suture deep, adpressed. Axial sculpture of very prominent ribs, 7–9 per whorl. Spiral sculpture of evenly spaced strong cords, 2–3 on first whorl, 6–8 on penultimate whorl, about 23–25 on last whorls, becoming evanescent towards tip of canal. Weaker secondary cords between primary strong cord pairs, 1 on earliest whorls increasing to 3 on later whorls. Siphonal canal long, open, straight, about ¼ of shell length. Aperture with 7–12 interior lirae. Inner lip adherent, forming smooth, white columellar callus, with 3 rounded columellar plicae, adapical two more prominent than abapical one. In side view additional adapicalmost weak plicae can be observed. Teleoconch pale flesh to pale orange-brown with lighter prominent axial cords. Periostracum medium to dark brown.
Radula (MNHN IM-2007-34593, 62.2 mm, Fig. 4 View Fig C–D) 2.6 mm in length (13% of AL), of more than 105 transverse rows of teeth, of which 37 nascent. Radula narrow, distance between outer edges of lateral teeth about 130 µm (0.67% of AL without canal). Lateral teeth medium broad, arcuate, with attenuated outer anterior corner, producing short ‘handle’, and with six cusps, subequal in length, closely spaced, slightly curved and one additional small but distinct innermost cusp. Central tooth small, trapezoid with narrower base, with three cusps, central narrowest. Narrow but distinct transverse folds of the membrane situated serially between rows of lateral teeth (arrow). The radula of an additional specimen was examined and it is generally similar, although the left lateral teeth have five cusps, while vs six on the right teeth; also the central teeth are relatively narrower and longer, tricuspid with central cusp longest.
Body morphology and digestive system anatomy are in all details similar to Angulofusus nedae Fedosov & Kantor, 2012 , the major difference being the longer and thinner proboscis, which attains 20 mm in studied specimen (2.2 AL without canal) and is coiled within rhynchodeum.
Distribution
Throughout the tropical Indo-West Pacific, at depths 140–809 m, one specimen from commercial sources said to have been collected in 20–35 m ( Vietnam).
Remarks
Conchologically the species is most similar to Granulifusus annae sp. nov. which has a similar size, but G. jeanpierrevezzaroi comb. nov. differs in having fewer axial ribs per whorl and being nearly uniformly
coloured with lighter spiral cords, while in Granulifusus annae sp. nov. the spiral cords are darker than the background. These two species also differ in radular morphology.
Granulifusus jeanpierrevezzaroi comb. nov. is a very common species in the Philippines and is found on soft bottoms throughout the tropical Indo-West Pacific. It is remarkable that the species still had to be named, although it had been illustrated several times under incorrect names. Shells of many specimens are covered with zoantharians (e.g., Fig. 5 View Fig F–G).
