Remarks.

This species was tentatively placed in the genus Kryptos (Fraussen and Sellanes 2008) based on similarities in sculpture and radula and to prevent the description of a monotypic genus. The radula is identical to the radula of Jerrybuccinum malvinense . It is characterised by a monocuspid central tooth with quadrangular base and by tricuspid lateral teeth that have a broad base prolonged with a basal projection. The shape, the axial and spiral sculpture of the shell and the shape of the operculum are similar. We hereby assign this species to Jerrybuccinum .
