Original description.
Von der Localität 25.
Die neue Art, bloß in 2 Exemplaren vorliegend, hat große Ähnlichkeit und Verwandtschaft mit Clathurella rubroguttata H. Ad. (nach Tryon einem Synonym von tincta Rve.). Die Schale besteht aus 8 Windungen, von denen die 3 ersten einen braunen Apex bilden; auf den Apex folgt ein Umgang in weißer Farbe, auf diesen erst die mit dunkel- oder rothbrauner Färbung gezierte Gehäusepartie. Es sind hier die Knoten, welche die 3 Längs- (Spiral-) rippen mit den Querwülsten an den Kreuzungsstellen bilden, abwechselnd weiß und rothbraun gefärbt. Der äußere Mundrand trägt oben einen Einschnitt. Die Höhe der Schale beträgt kaum 4 mm, die Breite 1,7 mm, die Mündung ist nicht halb so hoch wie das ganze Gehäuse.
Translation.
From locality 25.
The new species, present only in two specimens, has great similarity and relationship with Clathurella rubroguttata H. Adams (according to Tryon a synonym of tincta Reeve). The shell consists of eight whorls, of which the first three form a brown apex; the apex is followed by a white coloured whorl, then the dark or reddish-brown colouring on part of the shell follows. Here there are tubercles, formed by the intersection of three longitudinal (spiral) cords with the axial ribs, coloured alternatively white and reddish-brown. The outer lip bears an incision above. The height of the shell is barely 4 mm, width 1.7 mm, the mouth has less than half of the shell height.
Comments.
This species clearly belongs to the genus Pseudodaphnella Boettger, 1895 ( Fedosov and Puillandre 2012). It is very closely related to Pseudodaphnella barnardi (Brazier, 1876) and Pseudodaphnella phaeogranulata Fedosov & Puillandre, 2012.
