Material examined
5 lots (6 specimens). See Supp. file 1.
Type material
Holotype FIJI • 73.1 mm; south of Viti Levu ; 18°12.4′ S, 178°33.0′ E; 144–150 m depth; MNHN-IM-2000-21041 ( Fig. 52I View Fig ). GoogleMaps
Figured material
NEW CALEDONIA • 85.2 mm; SE Terrasses, off New Caledonia, stn CP3091; 22°17′ S, 167°09′ E; 260‒270 m depth; 25 Oct. 2008; TERRASSES expedition; MNHN ( Fig. 52J View Fig ) GoogleMaps • 80.9 mm; off SE New Caledonia, stn CP852; 21º44′ S, 166º36′ E; 253‒266 m depth; 19 Mar. 1994; HALIPRO 1 expedition; MNHN ( Fig. 52K View Fig ) GoogleMaps .
Geographical distribution and bathymetry
Fiji, at depths between 150‒260 m, Indonesia (Kei Islands, off Irian Jaya) in 82 m, Solomon Islands between 97 and 381 m, Vanuatu between 45 and 175 m, and New Caledonia (E coast)between 100‒ 300 m.
Remarks
Shell moderately large to large (maximum length 88 mm), broadly conical with a rather low, concave spire. Protoconch missing in all specimens examined. Radular morphology not known. Initially described from Fiji, this species has been subsequently reported from many other localities. One specimen from Vanuatu has been sequenced. In the phylogeny, it appears sister to the clade containing C. fijisulcatus and C. samiae .
