Calliotropis granolirata View in CoL (G.B. Sowerby (III), 1903)

Calliostoma (Lischkeia) granoliratum G.B. Sowerby (III), 1903: 222, pl. 5, fig. 7. Thiele, 1925: 14[48]. Type loc.: Cape Point, False Bay, bearing NW by W ½ W; distant 7 3/ 4 miles; depth 45 fathoms [82 m] (probably inaccurate or erroneous, fide Barnard 1963a); syntypes in SAMC (A5296, figured) and NHM (NHMUK 1903.7.27.65, figured by Vilvens 2007: figs 100, 101).

Solariella infundibulum (non Watson, 1879)— Martens, 1904: 48, pl. 4, fig. 22. E.A. Smith, 1906: 56.

Calliostoma granoliratum — E.A. Smith, 1906: 54.

Calliotropis granolirata View in CoL — Barnard, 1963a: 260, fig. 14h. Kensley, 1973: 36, fig. 65. B.A. Marshall, 1979: 526. Vilvens, 2007: fig. 100, 101.

Distribution. Off Cape Agulhas and Cape Point; 82(?)– 2750 m ( Thiele 1925); no data for living specimens.

Notes. The type locality given for this species is confusing. Barnard (1963a) interpreted it as two separate localities, off Cape Point and False Bay, bearing NW by W ½ W; distant 7 3/ 4 miles; depth 45 fathoms, and rejected the latter locality and the depth. However, the given locality is more likely to refer to a single locality just south of the mid-entrance to False Bay and the depth cited is appropriate for this. Nonetheless, more recent dredging work undertaken in this area has not brought to light additional samples. Martens' record from Valdivia St'n 122 (135 km S of Cape Point at 2750 m) and a sample in the SAMC ( A53301 View Materials ) from 56 km SW of Cape Point at 500 fathoms [914 m], suggest that it may in fact be a bathyal species, though this is confounded by Thiele's record from Valdivia St'n 109 (55 km SSE of Cape Agulhas at 126 m).
