Genus Pseudosubulina Strebel & Pfeffer, 1882 View in CoL

Pseudosubulina Strebel & Pfeffer, 1882: 117 View in CoL .

TYPE SPECIES. — Pseudosubulina berendti Pfeiffer, 1862 , by original designation.

DISTRIBUTION. — Central America and Cuba.Record from Jamaica by Schileyko (2000:840, 841) is based on mistaken classification of Sigmataxis macrospira (Adams, 1851) .

EMENDATIONS TO THE DIAGNOSIS. — In addition to diagnostic characters indicated by Schileyko (2000: 840, 841), genus now includes species with proximal penial stimulator, as well as with apertural dentition (see descriptions of two new species below).

REMARKS

Thompson (2010: 197) apparently made a mistake stating the presence of an epiphallus in Pseudosubulina . There is no epiphallus in the genital apparatus of the type species ( P. berendti ) nor in the new species described below. The vas deferens enters the penis directly through the base of the penial retractor and there are no apparent structural differences between the proximal and distal parts of the penis that could suggest the possibility of a spermatophore creation in the former.
