Genus Anatoma Woodward, 1859 View in CoL

Type species

Scissurella crispata Fleming, 1828 View in CoL , by monotypy.

Key to the species of Anatoma found in the GB (see also Geiger 2012)

1. Last whorl very broad, about 40% of diameter in apical view; suture of last whorl along selenizone or just below it ............................ Anatoma richardi (Dautzenberg & H. Fischer, 1896) View in CoL ( Fig. 7A–I View Fig )

– Last whorl less than 35% of diameter in apical view, suture definitely situated at a distance beneath selenizone ......................................................................................................................................... 2

2. Umbilicus wide and deep, its diameter more than 10% of the shell diameter, adapical surface nearly smooth except for growth lines ........................... Anatoma umbilicata (Jeffreys, 1883) View in CoL ( Fig. 9A–E View Fig )

– Umbilicus less than 10% of the shell diameter, surface of shell with distinct sculpture of axial riblets and spiral threads .............................................................................................................................. 3

3. Selenizone situated high on the profile, making it stepped; adapical part of the whorl above it forming a shoulder and abapical part below it very convex ... Anatoma eximia (Seguenza, 1880) View in CoL ( Fig. 8D–I View Fig )

– Selenizone situated near the middle of the last whorl, not as above ................................................ 4

4. Sculpture of conspicuous axial riblets, profile between suture and selenizone distinctly convex ...... .................................................................................... Anatoma aspera (Philippi, 1844) View in CoL ( Fig. 8A‒C View Fig )

– Sculpture of tenuous ribs, profile between suture and selenizone rather flat ...................................... ................................................................. Anatoma corralae Gofas & Luque View in CoL sp. nov. ( Fig. 10A–H View Fig )
