Archiminolia spec. 1

( Figures 59–60 )

Material. AndaDeVos (4).

Characterization. Shell low, H 1.8 mm, W 3.2 mm; P 1.1 whorls, with two spiral ribs, DN 0.17 mm; P/T boundary thin, slightly raised varix; first three T whorls with low spiral and axial ribs and axially arranged microscopic granules; fourth whorl smooth, coronate.

Remarks. This species is tentatively assigned to the genus Archiminolia on the basis of its similarity to the early whorls of an undescribed Archiminolia species collected from the Solomon Islands in the MNHN collection (STW, pers. obs.).
