F5345B140E3B5ECFAE7D85CBCBAE7C51.taxon	description	Description. Shell: (Figs 3 A-D, 4 A-D) minute, ovate-conical, semitransparent, thin but not fragile. Protoconch (Figs 3 E, F, 4 E, F) dome-shaped, with 1.5 whorls, height ~ 190 μm, diameter 353 μm, translucent; nucleus apparently smooth, followed by half whorl ornamented with dense and irregular micro pits (Fig. 3 F) which subsequently fuse into micro-lamellae between 9 - 10 spiral lirae (Fig. 3 E, F), roughly three times wider than interspaces. Protoconch-teleoconch border simple, marked by a shallow depression of the spire (Fig. 4 F). Teleoconch with 2 whorls, slightly convex, with 3 - 4 subobsolete spiral cords on penultimate whorl, 9 - 10 on body whorl, 3 - 4 relatively distinct spiral cords on base, roughly equidistant and broader than interspaces, crossing with exceedingly fine growth lines, and few weak spiral furrows in the periumbilical area. Periphery of body whorl broadly rounded. Suture impressed, simple. Aperture oval, with simple peristome, angled posteriorly, rounded anteriorly; inner lip narrow, anteriorly slightly separated from lower base, posteriorly attached to base; outer lip orthocline, without external varix and internal lirae. Umbilical chink represented by a narrow and short groove. Periostracum very thin, barely visible. Background color yellowish and brownish, forming interlaced band. Operculum: (Fig. 3 G, H) subovate, horny, simple, thin, smooth, posteriorly broadly angled, anteriorly rounded; nucleus eccentric; last whorl long and large, yellowish, and translucent. Radula: (Fig. 4 G-J) typical of Alvania. Central teeth 2 - 3 + 1 + 2 - 31 + 11 + 1, with long triangular cutting edge, small cusps, a single pair of basal denticles and a pair of smaller denticles produced from the thickened lateral margins; U-shaped ventral extension poorly to not developed. Lateral teeth 3 + 1 + 6 - 7, elongate, each with triangular and asymmetric cusps: larger primary cusp long and wide; 3 inner and 6 - 7 outer, smaller pointed denticles at the sides. Marginal teeth elongated, cusps subequal; inner marginal teeth with ~ 17 cusps on outer 1 / 3 of teeth, outer marginal teeth with ~ 6 - 7 cusps on inner distal 1 / 3. Soft parts: Yellowish head and foot. A pair of black-pigmented eyes (Fig. 4 D) can be seen through the translucent shell. Cephalic tentacles yellow, behind the eyes.	en	Xu, Biyang, Qi, Lu, Kong, Lingfeng, Li, Qi (2022): Description of Alvania wangi Xu, Qi & Kong, sp. nov.
