03C18783FFA0FF8BFCA4FB79FE47FA81.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The main characters of Paradentalium choneides n. sp. are the protruding ribs at the apex and the funnel-type callus, newly observed for the genus. This apical characteristic is similar to that of the gadilid genus Entalinopsis Habe, 1957. Paradentalium choneides n. sp. resembles P. intercalatum (Gould, 1859) and P. gradile Chistikov, 1979 in overall outline, but P. choneides n. sp. is narrower, the intercostal spaces are smooth instead of longitudinally sculptured and have no secondary ribs, in contrast to the other species (see Chistikov 1979; Scarabino 1995). Another related species, P. hexagonum (Gould, 1859), is larger, and more curved and tapering (see Scarabino 1995: fig. 28 g, h).	en	Scarabino, Victor, Scarabino, Fabrizio (2010): A new genus and thirteen new species of Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the tropical Pacific Ocean.

03C18783FFA4FF8CFF5EFBBBFB74FA81.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The most similar species to G. lauensis n. sp. is Gadilina pachypleura (Boissevain, 1906) (syntypes ZMA 3.06.063, ZMA 3.06.064, examined) from Indonesia at 1788 - 1886 m depth (Boissevain 1906). The new species is more curved and tapering, and has a larger and straighter anterior aperture. Gadilina insolita (Smith, 1894), widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, has a highly variable shell outline, especially in the morphology of the apical region, from a wide apex and a very thick apical callus with a small lumen to a long tapering apical area without a clear callus (Smith 1894; Scarabino 1995: fig. 95 a, b). In young specimens, the vestiges of longitudinal threads are clearly visible in the apical area. Also, the transverse section of the shell varies from roughly oval to triangular with the dorsal side straight in the apical area in extreme forms (V. Scarabino pers. obs.). Gadilina lauensis n. sp. is the third living species known in the genus. The radula of G. insolita (illustrated by Scarabino 1995: fig. 90) is quite similar and confirms that this character is appropriate for identification of the genus.

The present species is longer and less translucent, the apical callus protrudes and is more densely striated. Episiphon wallisi n. sp. has the apical callus flat, only 24 striae and the arc located at the centre of the shell, while in E. joanae n. sp.

03C18783FFA6FF8EFCB5FEE2FB42F942.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Breakages and repairs of unknown origin are present in all specimens studied. Compared to E. joanae n. sp. and E. wallisi n. sp., the present new species has an intermediate number of striae, its arc is located posterior, the lumen is much larger due to its thin apical callus. Episiphon truncatum (Boissevain, 1906) (syntypes ZMA 3.06.065 - 067, examined) from Indonesia (281 m), has almost similar breakages as E. indefensum n. sp. in adult specimens, but is much larger, solid, brilliant, the sculpture consists of encircling wrinkles in the apical sector and the apical section is roughly subtriangular. The apical callus of E. indefensum n. sp. is clearly thin for the genus.	en	Scarabino, Victor, Scarabino, Fabrizio (2010): A new genus and thirteen new species of Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the tropical Pacific Ocean.

03C18783FFABFF83FF13FAB8FCAEFB8C.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The characteristic transversely wrinkled surface allies this species to Annulipulsellum Scarabino, 1986, a monotypic genus known from abyssal depths from the Atlantic Ocean, although the sectional outline of the wrinkles differs. However, the presence of longitudinal sculpture in the new species clearly distinguishes it from A. euskadii Scarabino, 1986, which only has the transverse sculpture, although the thick apical callus and lumen is also similar (see Scarabino 1986). Nevertheless, no other scaphopod reported in the literature or noted in the field by us, worldwide, has similar sculpture; we refer the present species to Annulipulsellum, pending the discovery of other related species that might permit modification of the generic diagnosis or creation of a new genus.	en	Scarabino, Victor, Scarabino, Fabrizio (2010): A new genus and thirteen new species of Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the tropical Pacific Ocean.

DESCRIPTION Shell medium in size, regularly curved, gradually tapering, and polished white, anterior area of shell translucent. Outline irregular as a result of prominent growth lines. Sculptured by 32 thin longitudinal striae at the apex, vanishing towards the anterior aperture. Apical section slightly laterally compressed and with an undulate outline due to 2 wide, flat, round-edged, lateral lobes and thick dorsal and ventral triangular lobes.

REMARKS Boissevainia mossiae n. sp. bears a resemblance to Pulsellum eborascence (Watson, 1879) from Northern Australia, for which a lectotype 5 mm long was selected by Lamprell & Healy (1998: 1444) (BMNH 1887.2.9.69) and here examined. However, the latter is more tapering, with the arc situated anteriorly, the striae are finer and more numerous, and the apex is simple, resembling that of Striopulsellum.	en	Scarabino, Victor, Scarabino, Fabrizio (2010): A new genus and thirteen new species of Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the tropical Pacific Ocean.
