Pakaurangia Finlay, 1926
Original source.
Finlay 1926
: 380, 476.
Original classification.
Subgenus of
Zemelanopsis
.
Type
species.
Melanopsis waitaraensis
Marwick, 1926, by original designation.
Remarks.
Finlay (1926)
included also another species, the fossil
Coptochetus zelandicus
Marshall, 1918 (p. 265, pl. 22, fig. 13), in this subgenus. That species is, however, not a
Melanopsidae
but belongs to the marine genus
Exilia
Conrad, 1860 after
Beu and Maxwell (1990
: 414) and is consequently not treated in this catalogue. Finally,
Bouchet and Poppe (1995
: 503) synonymized
Pakaurangia
with the marine deep-water genus
Calliotectum
(
Volutidae
).
