Details
Triforis triserialisDall, 1881, p. 84-85, [Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008, fig. 14C] [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Yucatan Strait, 640 fms.; off Cape San Antonio, 640 fms.; Blake sta. 2, 805 fms [Blake sta. 2, off Havana, by lectotype designation of Rolán & Fernández-Garcés 2008)]. Range: 26°N to 22°N; 85°W to 82.42°W Depth: 421 to 1472 m Maximum Reported Size: 8.3 mm Distribution: USA: Florida: West Florida; Yucatan Strait, Cuba: Pinar del Rio, North Havana Province References: Dall (1881) DSWM; Dall (1889a); Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008b) cdNE Comments: Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008b) rejected Dall's fig. 6a (1889a) as not being conspecific; this might correspond to Dall's record from Barbados (1889a: 246), which therefore needs confirmation. Rios (1985) reidentified (as Triphora longissima) the Brazilian shell he illustrated as Triphora triserialis in 1975. Dall's (1889b: 138) record from off Cape Hatteras needs confirmation.
Triforis aspera auct. non Jeffreys, 1885, [Not available; synonymy uncertain] Range: 30.73°N to 27°N; 79.43°W Depth: 229 to 1337 m Distribution: USA: Georgia; Florida Strait (offshore) References: Dall (1889a) DdNSEW Comments: Misidentification by Dall (1889a); Triforis aspera Jeffreys, 1885, non Deshayes, 1864 is a synonym of the Eastern Atlantic Trifora bychia Bouchet & Guillemot, 1978. The identity of Dall's material needs confirmation.
