| Abstract |
The original descriptions of Neptunea lyrata (Gmelin, 1791) and its synonyms are compared to the type material stored in NMW and to specimens assigned to this species. N. lyrata is found to be restricted to the North East Pacific, distinct from any of the West Pacific species. The North West Pacifix shells, previously assigned to N. lyrata, are described as Neptunea excelsior sp. nov. |
