Involuted protoconch. Terminal fold lamellar, exceedingly elongated, straight and adaxial (absolutely unique to the</p> <p>Cypraeoidea), adapical acuminate ridge, canaliculated excurrent channel, forming a protruding bridge, neck forming an adaxial obtuse bottom, spiral incision developing into narrow ribs on the entire surface of the shell.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>Schilder (1927: 13, 71) erected the subgenus Pseudocypraea with Cypraea adamsonii as the type species, within the genus Cyproglobina de Gregorio, 1880. This fossil genus of Cypraeidae (Dolin &amp; Dolin 1983: 26-29, fig. 9a-c) is in fact related to Cypraeorbis Conrad, 1865 (Dolin 1991a: 4-11, figs 2-9). In an attempt at accommodating the anatomical features of the animal and the morphological features of the shell, Schilder (1936: 77, 81, pl. 11) reassigned it to a subgenus of Eocypraea Cossmann, 1903. In fact, the morphology of Pseudocypraea strikingly resembles only that of Eovolva nigeriensis (Newton, 1922), type species of the monospecific genus Eovolva Schilder, 1932. However E. nigeriensis (Fig. 2B) from the Bartonian (middle Eocene) of Bende Ameki, Nigeria (Newton 1922: 18, 19, pl. 3, figs 14, 15; Eames 1957: 39, pl. 6, figs 2, 3; Adegoke 1968: 48, figs 23, 24), displays the characteristic terminal fold and costulation of Eucypraedia Schilder, 1939 (Dolin 1991b: 30, figs 1a, b, 3-5), although it shows the same curvature and canaliculate excurrent channel as in Pseudocypraea. Furthermore, Schilder &amp; Schilder (1971) inexplicably synonymized Cypraea (Cypraeovulva) eratoformis Hoernes &amp; Auinger, 1880 from the Langhian (middle Miocene) of Lapugiu de Sus (Rumania) with Apiocypraea hoernesi (Neugeboren, 1853). However, the holotype (NHMW 1999Z0077/ 0027) (Fig. 4 D-F) of Cypraea (Cypraeovula) eratoformis is a typical Pseudocypraea, as evidenced by all its morphological characters, such as the globose shell, lamellar terminal folds, exceedingly elongated, straight and canaliculate excurrent channel, and body whorl with numerous, fine, and evenly spaced spiral threads. The genus Pseudocypraea was obviously considered as monotypic (Cernohorsky 1968: 51, fig. 14; 1972: 91, pl. 23, fig. 6; Keen 1971: 499, fig. 94; Cate 1973: 4, 5). Petuch (1979: 6, figs 5, 6) described the holotype of P. exquisita (DMNH 126392) from the deep-waters of the Philippines, which differs from the holotype of P. adamsonii (BMNH 1969139), the type species of the genus, in having a more slender shell, well developed anterior and posterior terminal and posterior labial teeth, which give the outer lip a serrated edge. P. adamsonii has a heavily sculptured columella and base, whereas P. exquisita contrasts greatly with the latter in having a smooth and highly polished basal area (see Petuch 1979: 6). P. exquisita lives about 250 m deep on sponge and soft coral-bearing substrates. P. adamsonii occurs in intertidal, shallow water, among corals (Rosenberg 1992: 73). The genus Pseudocypraea is distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific, including the Japan and South-Africa provinces (Liltved 1989: 98, fig. 155; 2000: 98, fig. 155-155a) (Fig. 6). The new species described herein cannot be referred to the genus Eocypraea Cossmann, 1903. This genus (Fig. 2A) appears as early as the Cenomanian (Schilder &amp; Schilder 1971: 9, 66, 67) and represents the ancestral group for the Ovulidae (Dolin &amp; Ledon 2002: 331). It is characterized by a globulous, callous and smooth, cypraeiform shell, an open siphonal canal, a thin terminal fold, a marginate, trigonal fossula, a columellar denticulation that is restricted to the angular area, and a short and poorly delineated excurrent channel.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CE87D4FFCDFFC64495FA3BA23BA9FC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The Pseudocypraeinae differ from the Pediculariinae Gray, 1853 by the morphology of their first and second marginal teeth, which are asymmetrical and whip-shaped in the Pseudocypraeinae Pseudocypraea adamsonii (Sowerby, 1832), and palmleaf-shaped in the conchologically similar Pediculariinae Jenneria (s.s.) pustulata (Solander, 1786) (Thiele 1929: 270, figs 285, 286; Azuma 1975: 76, fig. 1; Dolin &amp; Ledon 2002: 331).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CE87D4FFCDFFC044B7FCFBA24EA87C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Figs 3 C-E; 4A-C)</p> <p>TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype (MNHN-DHT R63008).</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. — Named after Luc Dolin, in recognition of his help and his numerous contributions to Tertiary Cypraeid and Ovulid paleontology.</p> <p>TYPE LOCALITY. — Le Quoniam near Haravilliers (Val d’Oise, France).</p> <p>STRATIGRAPHIC HORIZON. — Early Bartonian (Marinesian, middle Eocene).</p> <p>DIMENSIONS. — Height: 10.9 mm, maximal diameter: 6.6 mm.</p> <p>IAGNOSIS. — A large fusiform Pseudocypraea, ornamented with strong spiral cords, the outerlip labial being short and strong.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>The shell is of a small size, fusiform, with an involuted protoconch. The dorsal area as well as the ventral area are deeply incised by a spiral sculpture (which the wear of the shell has not completely erased). The ventral sole is evenly convex, the neck, as pinched, forms an obtuse bottom. The aperture, quite broad, with subparallel sides, is evenly curved. The siphonal canal, cone-shaped, is deep and well defined. The terminal fold is lamellar, trimmed, long and straight, in an adaxial position. The auriform and concave fossula, which is reduced, slightly trimmed, and the convex columellar area, suggest the juvenile decoration. The angulation is slightly settled. The inner lip bears 18 strong, short teeth, which become thinner and more elongated adapically. The adapical edge, obscurely denticulated is thin, elongated and straight. The excurrent channel is deep, well defined and forms an adapical bridge, which is canaliculate and subaxially opening. The outer lip, crescent-shaped, slightly flattened by the callous development of the margin, bears 21 big short labral teeth, hardly more elongated in their abapical quarter. The outer lip shows spots of colour along the periphery.</p> <p>DISCUSSION</p> <p>A l t h o u g h t h i s d e s c r i p t i o n i s b a s e d o n a n unique specimen, Pseudocypraea dolini n. sp. differs from P. eratoformis n. comb., from P. adamsonii and P. exquisita (Figs 4 D-F; 5) by numerous specific characters: tapering and non subglobose morphology, reduced fossula, adapical edge very thin, excurrent channel not curled and embayed, and indeed less numerous denticulation of the outer lip (21 shorter labral teeth in P. dolini n. sp., against an average of 26 in P. adamsonii, 20 in P. exquisita and 24 in P. eratoformis n. comb.). By the whole of its features, and in particular its subglobose general curve, excurrent channel curled and jagged, P. eratoformis n. comb. seems to be closer to the recent typical species. Under ultraviolet light (Fig. 3C) P. dolini n. sp. shows spots along the periphery of the outer lip that are typical of the genus Pseudocypraea (Fig. 5E).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CE87D4FFCBFFC54545FB5BA061ABBC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
