Type material

Holotype INDIAN OCEAN • Travancore coast ; depth 430 ftm (= 790 m); Investigator , stn 232; ZSI, M 647/1 .

Paratype

INDIAN OCEAN • 1 spec.; same data as for holotype; NHMUK 1904.6.15.139 .

Remarks

The shell of L. eurina is unusual for the genus due to the distinct subsutural spiral fold, a feature somewhat similar to what is observed in our sequenced specimen of L. thisbe ( Fig. 17C–E View Fig ). On the other hand, the anal sinus is subsutural and occupies entire subsutural ramp, thus suggesting the transfer of the species from Comitas to Leucosyrinx .

Distribution

From off southern India to Indonesia, 790– 940 m.
