Pinguigemmula thielei View in CoL . — Powell 1964: 279, pl. 215, fig. 7; Kosuge 1986, pl. 30, figs. 7–9 Length Width Aperture W/L A/L 42.2 16.9 26.5 0.40 0.63 Distribution. South China Sea; off west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.

Remarks. This species is very similar to Gemmula philippinensis Powell, 1964 . Powell (1964) indicated that “this species differs from G. philippinensis in having two instead of three spiral keels in addition to the peripheral flange-like keel, and in G. thielei ( Finlay, 1930) only the peripheral keel is gemmate, whereas in G. philippinensis all four keels are gemmate”. The only one specimen collected from the South China Sea has two spiral keels.
