Cruise Sta Depth No Lat (m) Long Gear Date SURINAM BASIN Knorr 25 299 1942- 54 2076 7°'N 55°'W ES Restricted to one Station on the lower slope of the Surinam Basin. Depth range: 1942-2076 m. Shell description (Figs. 32 & 33). Shell small, ovate, moderately inflated, slightly inequilateral, surface smooth in small individuals, ridges on ventral half of shell of larger specimens, periostracum pale yellow; umbo small, slightly raised, internally directed; no lunule or escutcheon; dorsal margin convex, anterior and posterior margins slope at similar angle from umbo, anterior margin smooth curve, posterior margin slight extended and slightly subrostrate, postero-dorsal margin slightly angled at posterior limit of hinge plate, postero-ventral margin sinuous, ventral margin slightly more convex posteriorly; hinge plate strong, rela- tively long, with up to 9 anterior and 10 posterior chevron- shaped teeth, hinge plate narrow below umbo; ligament amphidetic, internal, 'goblet-shaped'. With increasing shell length, there is little change in the height to length ratio but there is a slight increase in the width to length ratio. There is also gradual post-umbonal extension with the sinuous nature of the postero-ventral margin becom- ing more conspicuous (Fig. 35). Prodissoconch length: 179 |xm. Maximum recorded shell length: mm. Internal morphology (Fig. 34). The combined siphons, the siphonal tentacle (usually on the left side), and the anterior sense organ are as in Y. similis.
