Craniella globosa var. anamonaena Tanita, 1968

( Fig. 5I )

Craniella globosa var. anamonaena Tanita, 1968: 54 , text-fig. 15; Tanita & Hoshino 1998: 44; Van Soest et al. 2020: 32, case 48.

Tetilla anamonaena ; Lehnert & Stone 2011: 324, table 1.

The variety was described by Tanita from the Ariake Sea, Japan, approximate coordinates 32.9167°N 130.35°E, depth not provided. Type material has not been identified. Tanita & Hoshino (1998) reported the species from the Sagami Bay, Japan. Although the name is unavailable because Tanita erected the variety after 1960 (ICZN art. 15.2), Lehnert & Stone 2011 (table 1) transferred the material to genus Tetilla as T. anamonaena , which made the name available under ICZN art. 45.5.1 as a nomen novum authored by these authors. I confirm the name combination at present as valid.
