Oligomeria conoidea Galkin & Golikov, 1985: 23 , figs 1–3. Holotype ZIN 38605. Cape Kitov , Urip, Kurile Islands, Russia, 150 m.

Description. Shell to 4.7 mm, trochiform biconical; spiral cords or carinated cords, ~6 stronger ones on shoulder, ~15 weaker ones on base; faint axial sculpture predominantly on early whorls, umbilicus open, no periumbilical cord, no funiculus; columellar wall somewhat thickened, aperture subquadratic.

Distribution. Kurile Islands, Russia, to Aleutian Islands, Alaska (179˚W). 88– 220 m.

Remarks. The strength of the spiral sculpture varies, but is not sufficient to warrant taxonomic recognition, particularly giving the limited material available.
