Taxonomy
Lophiotoma kina was established by Puillandre, Kantor, Sysoev, Couloux & Bouchet (2017) during a multilocus phylogenetic study that redefined species limits within Lophiotoma. The species is listed under Turridae in subsequent taxonomic treatments.[2]
Description
Shell morphology follows the elongate-fusiform Lophiotoma habit with an elevated spire and siphonal canal, as diagnosed for the genus in the original revision. A detailed species-level description (including sculpture and protoconch characters) is provided in the type paper.[1]
