This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bouchet, P., Sysoev, A. (2001): Typhlosyrinx - like tropical deep-water turriform gastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Conoidea). Journal of Natural History 35 (11): 1693-1715, DOI: 10.1080/002229301317092405, URL: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/002229301317092405

Based on radular and protoconch morphology, the genus Typhlosyrinx Thiele, 1925 has been successively classified in the subfamily Turriculinae of the family Turridae and in the subfamily Clathurellinae of the family Conidae. It is shown that the protoconch had earlier been misinterpreted, and the presence of a diagonally cancellated sculpture indicates a placement in the conid subfamily R aphitominae. Two conchologically similar genera, based on teleoconch sculpture and radular morphology are recognized: Typhlosyrinx, with axial ribbing on teleoconch spire whorls and a radula with long (250 m m) barbed teeth, and Leiosyrinx n. gen., without axial sculpture and a radula with short (<100 m m) simpli fi ed teeth. F ive species (two new) of Typhlosyrinx and four species (all new) of Leiosyrinx are recognized, all at bathyal depths between 280 and 1840 m in the tropical Indo-Paci fi c and Panamic provinces. The two genera are not known earlier than the Pliocene, where they already occurred in deep-water assemblages.
