Pakaurangia Finlay, 1926

Original source.

Finlay 1926: 380, 476.

Original classification.

Subgenus of Zemelanopsis .

Type species.

Melanopsis waitaraensis Marwick, 1926, by original designation.

Remarks.

Finlay (1926) included also another species, the fossil Coptochetus zelandicus Marshall, 1918 (p. 265, pl. 22, fig. 13), in this subgenus. That species is, however, not a Melanopsidae but belongs to the marine genus Exilia Conrad, 1860 after Beu and Maxwell (1990: 414) and is consequently not treated in this catalogue. Finally, Bouchet and Poppe (1995: 503) synonymized Pakaurangia with the marine deep-water genus Calliotectum ( Volutidae ).
