Material examined.

Systenostoma defixa (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1912) (2 specimens), RBINS Dautzenberg Collection reg. nr. IG 10591 (tray 844), probably syntypes.

Remarks.

The whole shell, including the protoconch, is covered with regular, very fine spiral threads. The spiral lines are decussated with rather irregular radial lines, creating a reticulated surface.
