Material.— One shell ( SMF373107 About SMF ) from Northern Indian Ocean, Krishna-Godavari Basin , Bay of Bengal, offshore eastern India, 15°51.6335’ N, 81°50.2274’ E, 1046 m water depth, 16.28 mbsf level, core NGHP-01-12A; Upper Pleistocene GoogleMaps .
Description.—Elevated conical shell, raphitomiform, strongly sculptured with blunt apex. Protoconch paucispiral, about one whorl with large nucleus, smooth, diameter about 350 µm. Teleoconch juvenile only, three whorls with flexuous growth lines. Sculpture with three spiral cords, one shoulder cord, one at the suture and one below the suture, about 16 flexuous axial ribs with pointed nodules at crossings with cords. Aperture piriform.
Remarks.—The apex and part of the teleoconch is obscured, so the material is inadequate for a determination or a complete description. However, it is possible the shells belongs to the genus Taranis Jeffreys, 1870 ( Raphitomidae Bellardi, 1875 ).
