Abstract
A revision of the species cited in the genus Leucosyrinx from Argentine waters is conducted. Leucosyrinx argentina sp. nov. is described after material collected off Argentina in: the Mar del Plata Submarine Canyon (528–2212 m depth), at 39°53.381′S, 55°52.197′W off Buenos Aires province (772 m depth), and in the Burdwood Bank (approximately 54°S in 187 and 642 m depth). Radulae, penis, operculum, ornamentation and ultrastructure of the shell are described. In addition, partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (COI) are provided. After a review of the species previously described in the genus Leucosyrinx from Argentine waters, we concluded that L. argentina sp. nov. is the only living species truly recognized as belonging in this genus from the Southwestern Atlantic. This is the first study of the genus Leucosyrinx from this region that revises both morphological and molecular characters.
期刊介绍:
Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology is devoted to comparative zoology with a special emphasis on morphology, systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary biology targeting all metazoans, both modern and extinct. We also consider taxonomic submissions addressing a broader systematic and/or evolutionary context. The overall aim of the journal is to contribute to our understanding of the organismic world from an evolutionary perspective.
The journal Zoologischer Anzeiger invites suggestions for special issues. Interested parties may contact one of the editors.
