description: Genus <i>Myurellopsis</i> new genus (Fig. 7 G–I) <i>Type species:</i> <i>Terebra undulata</i> Gray, 1834. <i>Zoobank registration:</i> urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: EC3F14B2-3595- 482B-9890-399BA78A7631 <i>Definition:</i> Includes all species included in the clade E5B of Modica <i>etal.</i> (2019) and those that show a combination of conchological, anatomical and distribution characteristics closely comparable with <i>Myurellopsis undulata</i> or any genetically proven member of the genus. <i>Diagnosis</i>: Diagnostic nucleotide combinations in Table 10. <i>Shell</i>: Small to medium-sized (<i>&lt;</i> 50 mm), pinkish or orange, often with white subsutural band. Protoconch multispiral. Sculpture of strong, rounded, slightly undulating ribs, polished in appearance. Row of punctations with groove partially cutting ribs forming subsutural band. Interstices between ribs deep, narrow, bearing regular striae, often darkly coloured. Adapical parts of ribs forming one row of rounded nodules, separated from their lower portions by shallow depression or partial groove. Siphonal canal moderately long, tapering, with weakly developed fasciole. <i>Anatomy</i>: Two distinct states—either all typical foregut structures present, or all lacking; in latter case, accessory proboscis structure present. <i>Distribution:</i> Throughout Indo-Pacific; intertidal to upper bathyal depths (to 358 m), typically shallow. <i>Remarks</i>: Species in <i>Myurellopsis</i> n. gen. appear conchologically closest to <i>Myurella</i> species, but can be differentiated by the sharper, more elevated ribs, often with nodes on the subsutural band or top of the whorls. <i>Etymology</i>: The name refers to the close resemblance between its members and species in the genus <i>Myurella</i>. Gender feminine. <i>Included species:</i> <i>Myurellopsis alisi</i> (Aubry, 1999) 3 n. comb.; <i>M. columellaris</i> (Hinds, 1844) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. guphilae</i> (Poppe, Tagaro &amp; Terryn, 2009) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. joserosadoi</i> (Bozzetti, 2001) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. kilburni</i> (R. D. Burch, 1965) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. monicae</i> (Terryn, 2005) 2 n. comb.; <i>M. nathaliae</i> (Drivas &amp; Jay, 1988) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. parkinsoni</i> (Bratcher &amp; Cernohorsky, 1976) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. paucistriata</i> (E. A. Smith, 1873) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. undulata</i> (Gray, 1834) 1 n. comb.; <i>M. vaubani</i> (Aubry, 1999) 3 n. comb. <i>Genera defined based on conchological characters</i>
