Type material. Holotype (herein examined): USNM 108044 About USNM .
Type locality. USA: Georgia state: off Georgia, USFC sta. 2668; 30°58′30″N, 79°38′30″W, 538 m; Steamer Albatross col., 05/v/1886. The locality is not “off Fernandina” as stated in the original description ( vide station number of the original label).
Material examined. The holotype.
Remarks. The present species has almost flat teleoconch whorls, a relatively thicker inner lip without an umbilical fissure, and the SEM images available for study indicate that the teleoconch does not present the microscopic spiral striae typical of Aclis . We propose a tentative classification in the genus Melanella Bowdich, 1822 despite uncertainties about the diagnosis of the latter genus ( Bouchet & Warén 1986; Souza & Pimenta 2019b).
