Ebala similima
- 1. Departamento de Invertebrados, Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Quinta da Boa Vista., São Cristóvão, 20940 - 040, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.
Description
Ebala similima (E.A. Smith, 1890) comb. nov.
Figs 23E–G
Aclis similima E.A. Smith, 1890: 280–281, pl. 23, Fig. 29.
Type material. Syntypes: NHMUK 1889.10.1.768–770 [3].
Type locality. Saint Helena.
Remarks. The heterostrophic protoconch indicates that this species is not a member of Aclis. A tentative placement in Ebala Gray, 1847 is here proposed. Ebala similima (E.A. Smith, 1890) comb. nov. is probably related to other species from West Africa treated by Peñas & Rolán (2001) under Anisocycla Monterosato, 1880 but now placed in Ebala (see Warén 2013 for further details about these generic names).
