Diodora spreta ( E.A. Smith, 1901) View in CoL

Glyphis spreta E.A. Smith, 1901: 104 , pl. 1, fig. 18. E.A. Smith, 1903a: 391. Kennelly, 1964: 53, pl. 3, fig. 16. Type loc.: Mossel Bay, Cape Colony; six syntypes in NHM (NHMUK 1889.4.14.2406–2411), Salvador pers. comm. (iii/2015); three syntypes in SAMC (2459).

Fissurella neglecta View in CoL (non Deshayes, 1830)—G.B. Sowerby (III), 1889a: 12.

Fissurella fimbriata View in CoL (non Reeve, 1850)—G.B. Sowerby (III), 1889b: 154. G.B. Sowerby (III), 1892: 48.

Fissuridea spreta — Bartsch, 1915: 177.

Diodora spreta View in CoL — Viader, 1937: 57. Barnard, 1963a: 290, fig. 22g. Kensley, 1973: 30, fig. 38. Christiaens, 1974: 92. Richards, 1981: 33, pl. 7, fig. 41. Kilburn & Rippey, 1982: 36, pl. 6, fig. 10. Steyn & Lussi, 1998: 10, fig. 13. Marais, 2011: 27.

Distribution. South-western Indian Ocean, from northern Mozambique to W. Cape (Cape Agulhas); beach-drift to 260 m, but mostly less than 100 m (living LST to 62 m). A record from Mauritius ( Viader 1937) requires confirmation.

SUBFAMILY: EMARGINULINAE Children, 1834 1 Cornisepta McLean & Geiger, 1998 . Type species (o.d.): Fissurisepta antarctica Egorova, 1972 .

Cornisepta onychoides ( Herbert & Kilburn, 1986) View in CoL

Fissurisepta onychoides Herbert & Kilburn, 1986: 24 View in CoL , figs 87–89. Type loc.: off Shixini Point, Transkei (32°31.2ʹS: 28°52.2ʹE), 300 m; holotype in NMSA (C6365/T3017).

Cornisepta onychoides View in CoL — McLean & Geiger, 1998: 24.

Distribution. Central KwaZulu-Natal (off Umlaas Canal) to southern Transkei (off Shixini Point); 250–500 m (no data for living specimens).

Cranopsis A. Adams, 1860 View in CoL . Type species (m.): Cranopsis pelex A. Adams, 1860 View in CoL .

McLean & Geiger (1998) treated Cranopsis View in CoL as a full genus, but this was questioned by Aktipis et al. (2011). Molecular analyses based upon a broader sampling of species will be needed to clarify this. In Cranopsis View in CoL the mantle skirt is split anteriorly, underlying the seam in the shell that extends ventrally from the foramen. Such a split is absent in Puncturella View in CoL and the mantle skirt is entire ( Cowan & McLean 1968).
