Material examined. The holotype and: holotype of A. pendata: USNM 108021: USA: Georgia state: Off Georgia, USFC sta. 2668; 30°58′30″N, 79°38′30″W, 538 m; Steamer Albatross col., 05/v/1886 .

Remarks. MolluscaBase (2021a) considers A. stilifer as a synonym of A. pendata Dall, 1927 . The holotype of A. stilifer (USNM 108024) (Figure 21A–D) and the holotype of A. pendata (USNM 108021) (Figure 21E–G) are proportionally similar in size, including the width of the first protoconch whorl (ca. 250 μm). The transition between protoconch-teleoconch is not clear (Figure. 21D, G). We follow this synonymy and keep the priority with the name A. stilifer .
