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[edit]
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[edit]
The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm.
