Neoguraleus sinclairi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]
Not to be confused with Neoguraleus sinclairi (E.A.Smith, 1884) (synonym of Neoguraleus finlayi Powell, 1942).
Authority
Tucker (2004) states that Drillia sinclairi Gillies, 1882is a nude name, but it is not; Gillies (1882) renamed a misidentification by Hutton (1880), referring to p. 45 where Hutton gave a description of "Defranchia luteo-fasciata". This description is not copied from Reeve's description of "Pleurotoma luteo-fasciata".[1]
Description
The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm.
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to New Zealand and occurs throughout New Zealand and at the Steward Island and the Chatham Islands; fossils have been found in Pliocene strata.
