[Basis of the current name]
Type Locality: USFC sta. 2115
Range: 35.83°N to 30.73°N; 79.64°W to 74.58°W
Depth: 538 to 1542 m
Maximum Reported Size: 2.2 mm

References: Dall (1927b) dSW
Comments: Replacement name for C. affine Verrill, 1884, non Jeffreys, 1883. Warén (1991:65) thought it would probably prove a synonym of Skenea diaphana, but Dall (1889a:393) thought it a synonym of Skenea trochoides. Left as valid here, pending resolution (Malacolog 3.4.0).
Combining Genera:  Ganesa Lissospira
