Brachytoma Annandalei
''Brachytoma'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae. R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 the name ''Brachytoma'' to be rejected, since the type species ''Pleurotoma strombiformis'' G. B. Sowerby II, 1839 is considered a nomen dubium and there is no valid ground for conferring type status upon it. Species Species within the genus ''Brachytoma'' include: * † '' Brachytoma annandalei'' Vredenburg, 1921 * † '' Brachytoma buddhaica'' Vredenburg, 1921 * † '' Brachytoma convexa'' Vredenburg, 1921 * † ''Brachytoma gautama'' Vredenburg, 1921 * † ''Brachytoma pinfoldi'' Vredenburg, 1921 * † ''Brachytoma reticulata'' Vredenburg, 1921 * '' Brachytoma rioensis'' (Smith E.

Brachytoma Rioensis
''Brachytoma rioensis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae. Description The length of the shell varies between 15 mm and 25 mm. (Original description) The fusiform shell is pale brown with whitish ribs. It contains 9 whorls. The two whorls in the protoconch are smooth, convex, and form a maminillar apex. The rest are concave above the convex, oblique ribs (ten on the penultimate whorl) with transverse tubercles on the middle caused by spiral lirae passing over them. The tubercles are more pronounced upon some of the upper volutions than upon the last two or three. In the upper concavity the threads are finer than those below. The body whorl is attenuated in front and finely lirate throughout. The aperture is white within. The outer lip shows a strong external varix A varix (pl. varices) is an abnormally dilated vessel with a tortuous course. Varices usually occur in the venous system, but may also occur in arte ...

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1056672 on 2018-09-20 R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 ''Brachytoma vexillum'' Habe & Kosuge, 1966 as a synonym of '' Ptychobela suturalis'' (Gray, 1838) The epithet ''vexillium'' was probably a misspelling in the original text, but was not indicated as such.
