Toledonia perplexa Dall, 1902: 513 ; Dell, 1990: 259, figs. 457–461 (synonymy)

Admete limneaeformis (sic)— Melvill & Standen, 1912: 131 (non Smith, 1879)

Examined material. 6 an. and 11 sh. (MACN-In 40707); holotype (USNM 109022).

Description. Shell height to 2.5 mm (up to 4.1 mm according to Dall 1902); elongate-ovate, delicate. Protoconch of 1.5 slightly convex whorls. Teleoconch of up to 2 whorls, slightly convex in outline; last whorl comprising about 85% of total shell height. Suture deep, slightly channeled. Surface white; only sculptured with faint growth lines. Aperture ovate, interior white; columella with a strong fold, callus narrow, slightly expanded over the umbilical area.

Remarks. Based on the study of shell morphology, Dell (1990) concluded that Toledonia limnaeaeformis ( Smith, 1879) and T. perplexa are two different species, with only the latter present in Patagonian waters. The material studied here is similar to T. perplexa , although differs by having a lower spire. The significance of such differences could not be determined given the poor current state of knowledge of the group.
