Remarks

The taxonomic validity of this species is uncertain, and was in the status of species inquirenda (WoRMS, http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p = taxdetails &id=595790). Kilburn (2009) thought this species perhaps presumably referable to subgenus Qii Zhang, 1995 in the genus Pseudodaphnella . Kilburn also suggested we place this species in the genus Pseudodaphnella (personal communication). This species was not previously reported from China Seas.
