Type material. Holotype (AM C.46625).
Type locality. New Zealand, Macquarie Island.
Material examined. New Zealand, Macquarie Island, R / V Eltanin, cruise 27, stn 1972, 54°30’S, 158°58’E, 31 m, 10 spms, BL 2.4–6.0 mm, 15.02.1967 (USNM?); Macquarie Island, R / V Dmitriy Mendeleev 30 m, 1 damaged spm (ZISP 2380), BL ca. 4 mm, 21.01.1976, leg. V. Averintsev.
Distribution. Only known from Macquarie Island, on rocks, 30– 69 m.
Remarks. Available specimen (BL ca. 4 mm) from Macquarie Island (30 m, R/V Dmitriy Mendeleev, 21.01.1976) was very damaged and it was only possible to study pieces of head and intermediate valves and the radula by SEM. It turned out that the tegmentum is smooth with very small, narrow grooves and with megalaesthete pores only, which are arranged in quincunx. The studied specimen has a radula with a length of about 1 mm and 24 transverse rows of mature teeth. The cusp of the major radular lateral tooth is tridentate, the denticles are almost of equal size. The specimen from the USNM sample with BL 6.0 mm has 7 gills arranged from valve six to anus. Besides the different radulae L. fairchildi differs from L. kerguelensis in the absence of granules in tegmentum but the presence of growth marks.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is about to bring fundamental changes in our society and economy, touching on how organizations make decisions, deliver services, and evaluate opportunities. Given the breadth of their potential reach across companies of different sizes and in different industries, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of MIT even speak of AI as “the most important general-purpose technology of our era” (Brynjolfsson and McAfee 2017, p. 2). Today, AI applications in most of the cases are based upon machine learning algorithms, whereby supervised learning, in particular, has become established in practice.

Type material. Holotype (AM C95165). Type locality. New Zealand, off Otago Heads, 108 m.
Material examined. New Zealand, North Island, 33°9’50’’S, 173°47’20’’E, 141 m, 3 spms, BL 5–7 mm, (NMNZ M.283635) 20.02.1989, leg. R.

Distribution. All around New Zealand and Stewart Island, from 115 to 446 m. There is a fossil occurrence of this species in the Pleistocene of New Zealand (Beu & Maxwell 1990).
Remarks. Two specimens were studied by SEM: a specimen with a BL of 7.0 mm (NMNZ M.283635) and a specimen with BL 6.0 mm (NMNZ M 328331). The specimen with BL 7.0 mm has 9 gills per side arranged from valve VI to the anus and a radula 3.1 mm long with 29 transverse rows of mature teeth. The second specimen differs from the first one by having dorsal scales with 5–7 ribs instead 5–9 ribs. These specimens are characterized by having subcarinated valves, longitudinal rows of granules in central areas of intermediate valves and in the antemucronal area of the tail valve, radial rows of granules on the head valve and granules arranged in a random manner in other areas, 9 aesthetes on each granule, sutural tufts of 13–14 long needles, dorsal scales with 5–9 narrow longitudinal ribs, marginal elements of three kinds: long, smooth needles, long ribbed spicules and short flattened spicules with ribs on both sides, central teeth of radula short and wide, major lateral teeth with bidentate sharply pointed cusps, inner denticle much smaller than outer one. As noted by Kaas & Van Belle (1985) “at the posterior margin of the lateral areas, there are three or more equi-spaced protuberances standing up about four times the height of the larger grains, a most characteristic feature of this species.”

Ecology: FT
Distribution: AT, NT, AU, PAC, ANT
Habitat: ES
Comments: The widespread distribution of this species at high southern latitudes suggests that multiple species have been reported under this name. Accordingly, it was designated as a species group by Glasby (1999). Although the species is apparently confined to the upper littoral zone of the coast, it is often found associated with freshwater seepage (Rozbaczylo 1975).

Figures 1 M–R
Type Material. Holotype LACM 3807, 1 Paratype LACM 3808, 2 Paratypes MNHN-IM-2018-1777, 2 Paratypes CKM, 2 Paratypes MSF fa176.
Type Locality. Japan, Okinawa, Onna, Horseshoe, 26.5054 o N, 127.8459 o E, 35 m deep.
Distribution. Currently only known from the type locality.
Description. Shell of moderate size for genus, up to 3.3 mm; biconical, elongate. Protoconch paucispiral, rather elongated, of 1.7–1.8 smooth whorls. Transition to teleoconch weakly visible. Teleoconch of 3.1–3.3 whorls, slightly convex; suture slightly impressed. Surface smooth apart from occasional very weak axial ribs, and basal cords on last whorl, clearly present on last whorl, extending just below adapical edge of columella.Aperture narrow, elongate, 46–52% of shell height. Outer lip clearly thickened, bearing continuations of basal cords on abapical end. Inside denticulate, with 4–6 denticles, adapically much stronger, abapically nearly obsolete. Adapical end of outer lip with weak sinus. Columellar and parietal callus, not denticulate. Siphonal canal short, half-open, slightly recurved. Teleoconch whorls translucent, background color yellow-orange, with faint white spiral band, at mid-height of last whorl. Protoconch yellow-orange. Aperture and columella off-white to yellow-orange. Radula not studied. Height of holotype: 2.7 mm.
Remarks. Some paratypes show no further pattern (figs 1 Q–R), while others show a weak whitish spiral band at mid-height of last whorl (figs 1 O–P). The genus Euspiralta had been known by only one other member: Euspiralta santoensis (figs 1 K–L) originating from Santo Island, Vanuatu (see Monsecour & Pelorce 2013), with the same yellow-orange color as the new species. However, Euspiralta okinawaensis differs in its slightly smaller size, wider shell, different protoconch shape, lower number of teleoconch whorls and wider aperture.
Etymology. Latin adjective formed from the type locality, Okinawa.

Type material. Holotype (ZSM Mol 20070760).
Type locality. Chile, off Concepcion, 36º22.19’S, 73º43.36’W, 846 m.
Material examined. New Zealand, South Island, off Palliser Bay, 41°42.30’S, 175°9.00’E, F/ V Admiral, stn 1957083, 1006 m, 2 spm, BL 5.0–8.0 mm, (NMNZ M 012864), 17.02.1957; SW of Kaikoura Peninsula, upper Kaikoura Canyon, 42°29.00’S, 173°37.00’E, R / V Acheron, stn 1976545, 1006– 1097 m, mud, 1 spm, BL 11.0 mm, (NMNZ M 051009), 18.03.1976; South Island, SSE of Kaikoura, 42°49.90’S, 173°48.40’E, R / V James Cook, stn 1986020, 927– 995 m, 1 spm, BL 10.5 mm, (NMNZ M 319764), 10.05.1986; North Island, southern Kermadec Ridge, Rumble Volcano, 36°8.37’S, 178°1292’E, R / V Tangaroa, stn TAN0107/231, 1210– 1040 m, 1 spm, BL 13.5 mm, (NMNZ M 319773), 24.05.2001.
Distribution. Off Chile, from 34.5°S to the Magellan Strait and Beagle Channel, South Orkney, South Shetland, Kerguelen and Crozet Islands and New Zealand, 88–1210 m. The present report near New Zealand of L. cf. laurae would greatly extend the previously known distribution of this species if confirmed.
Remarks. The examined specimen (NMNZ M 051009, with BL 11.0 mm) has 11 gills per side arranged from valve VI to anus, and a 3.0 mm long radula with 30 transverse rows of mature teeth. The New Zealand material shows some differences to the holotype and to some specimens studied by Sirenko (2015) and Sirenko & Sellanes (2016). The examined specimen differs from the holotype by having 1 or 2 ribs on dorsal scales [vs. 6–8 very faint longitudinal ribs in the holotype (Schwabe & Sellanes 2010)]. In my opinion the number of ribs on dorsal scales is variable in this species. Specimens from South Shetland Islands were shown (Sirenko 2015) to have smooth scales, while those from New Zealand and the Magellan region have 1–2 ribs and the specimens from Northern Chile have 3 ribs. Compared to the previously studied material, the specimens from New Zealand have a longer antemucronal area and rounded valves. As was mentioned by Sirenko (2015) and Sirenko & Sellanes (2016) L. laurae belongs to the group of L. sykesi.

Figures 2 A–F
Type Material. Holotype LACM 2710, 3 Paratypes LACM 2711, 3 Paratypes MNHN-IM-2018-1778, 4 Paratypes CKM, 4 Paratypes MSF fa177.
Type Locality. Northern Mariana Islands, Saipan, The Grotto, 15.2702 o N, 145.8346 o E, 30 m deep.
Distribution. Currently only known from the type locality.
Description. Shell of moderate size for genus, up to 5.7 mm; fusiform, elongate. Protoconch paucispiral, bulbous, of 1.5–1.7 smooth whorls. Transition to teleoconch indistinct. Teleoconch of 4–4.2 whorls, slightly convex, thin, translucent; suture slightly incised. Surface without axial sculpture apart from wide thickened rib near lip. Spiral sculpture of weak band just below suture. Remaining whorls smooth apart from basal cords, clearly present on last whorl, extending to just below adapical end of columella. Aperture rather wide, 38–42% of shell height. Outer lip thickened, bearing continuations of basal cords on abapical end. Inside denticulate with weak sinus on adapical end. Up to 6 denticles, adapically stronger. Columellar callus thick with row of slightly merged denticles, abapically stronger. Parietal callus rather thick. Siphonal canal very short, half-open, slightly recurved. Teleoconch whorls yellow-brown, with network of irregular white spots. Protoconch white to off-white with darker nucleus. Aperture and columella white. Radula not studied. Height of holotype: 5.0 mm.
Remarks. This species is a member of the Mitrella philia (Duclos, 1846) complex. Species within this complex are all of about the same size, have the same general shell morphology with an incised suture and paucispiral protoconch (see also Monsecour & Monsecour 2024). However, Mitrella harryleei differs from M. philia (figs 2 G–H) by its slightly smaller size, its thinner translucent shell, less incised suture, more bulbous protoconch, slightly longer sihonal canal and different color pattern. Mitrella harryleei also differs from Mitrella goubini (Hervier, 1900) (erroneously considered a synonym of M. philia) (figs 2 I–J) by its slightly smaller size, thicker shell, with different type of protoconch and spire, lower number of teleoconch whorls and different color pattern.
The genus Mitrella has proven highly polyphyletic (deMaintenon & Strong 2022) and the Mitrella philia species complex will most likely be transferred to another genus in the future.
Etymology. Named after the late Harry Lee, Florida, USA, for his career as an expert amateur malacologist.

Type Material. Holotype LACM 2907, 1 Paratype MNHN-IM-2018-1779, 1 Paratype CKM, 1 Paratype MSF fa178.
Type Locality. Northern Mariana Islands, Saipan, The Grotto, 15.2702 o N, 145.8346 o E, 30 m deep.
Distribution. Currently only known from the type locality.
Description. Shell of average size for genus, up to 4.6 mm; fusiform, elongate.Protoconch paucispiral, elongated, of 1.4–1.5 smooth whorls. Transition to teleoconch clearly visible. Teleoconch of 4.3–4.6 flattened whorls; suture slightly incised.Axial sculpture of 14–15 strong ribs; interspaces narrower than ribs. Spiral sculpture of rounded low cords with narrow interspaces. Early whorls have 3 cords; penultimate whorl with 4 cords; last whorl with 8 cords, extending into basal cords on abapical end. Intersections of axial ribs and spiral cords giving shell surface nodulose appearance. Basal cords extending to just below adapical edge of columella. Aperture narrow, elongate, slightly Sshaped, 43–48% of shell height. Outer lip slightly thickened, bearing continuations of spiral cords and basal cords. Inside with clear sinus on adapical end; 6 denticles, diminishing in strength toward abapical end, adapical denticles partially fused. Columellar callus with 4 denticles, abapically much weaker. Parietal callus clearly present. Siphonal canal short, open, slightly recurved. Teleoconch whorls, off-white, with cream zone below suture and on abapical end of last whorl. Protoconch off-white to cream, with darker nucleus. Aperture and columella off-white. Radula not studied. Height of holotype: 4.55 mm.
Remarks. This genus was previously only known from the type species Mitropsis paumotensis from French Polynesia. Mitropsis noduliferus differs from M. paumotensis by its slightly smaller size, less incised suture, stronger spiral sculpture and lower number of denticles in the aperture. The lectotype of M. paumotensis (ANSP 28756) is figured online (http://clade.ansp.org/malacology/collections/details.php?mode=details&catalognumber=28756), but it is a worn specimen without protoconch and not much sculpture left. Boutet et al. (2020: p 348) figured a nice specimen of M. paumotensis. The specimen figured in Monsecour & Monsecour (2018) as M. paumotensis (plate 4, figs A–B), is incorrectly identified and most likely represents a third species of Mitropsis, similar to M. noduliferus. However, M. noduliferus also differs from that species by its less incised suture and weaker spiral ribs.
Etymology. Latin nodulifera meaning knobby. Refering to the nodulose spiral elements.

Description. Shell rather small size for genus, up to 3.0 mm; fusiform, elongate. Protoconch paucispiral, of 1.4–1.5 smooth whorls. Transition to teleoconch weakly visible. Teleoconch of 2.9–3.1 whorls, relatively smooth; suture slightly impressed.Axial sculpture of only weak close-set ribs. Spiral sculpture absent apart from basal cords, extending to mid-apertural height. Aperture narrow, 55–60% of shell height. Outer lip slightly thickened, smooth. Inside with sinus on adapical end and 6–7 denticles, diminishing in strength toward abapical end. Columellar callus thick, slightly raised, not denticulate, with V-shaped incision deep in aperture. Parietal callus thick. Siphonal canal short, open, slightly recurved. Teleoconch whorls pale yellowish with white subsutural spiral band and zigzag-pattern of thin brown lines. Protoconch brown, translucent. Aperture white; columella translucent white with brown zigzag-pattern visible. Radula not studied. Height of holotype: 2.5 mm.
Remarks. Mokumea gracilicostata is most similar to Mokumea albovittata (Lopes, Coelho & Cardoso, 1965) (fig 3 G) from Brazil, with which it shares the paucispiral protoconch and same color pattern. However, M. gracilicostata differs from M. albovittata by its smaller size, narrower aperture and presence of fine axial ribs, while M. albovittata is smooth.
Mokumea gracilicostata also differs from Mokumea fuscolineata (Thiele, 1930) (fig 3 H) from Australia being smaller in size, having paucispiral protoconch, narrower aperture and color pattern with greater number of brown zigzag lines.
The three species of Mokumea occurring in Japanese waters: M. albomarginata (Okamoto & Habe, 1979) (fig 3 I), M. divaricata (Pilsbry, 1904) (fig 3 J) and M. yuhitai (Habe, 1991) (fig 3 K) all have paucispiral protoconchs. However, M. gracilicostata differs by its smaller size, wider shell with less convex whorls, narrower aperture and color pattern with greater number of brown zigzag lines.
Etymology. Latin adjectives gracilis, thin and costatus, ribbed, in reference to the numerous, fine axial ribs.
