Description

N. tingitana. One syntype in the B.M.N.H. No. 1906.4.17.18.; 10.0 x 3.8 x 2.9 mm. Light tan in colour, fusiform, aperture very short, sculptured with angulate axial ribs, penultimate whorl with 5 fine spiral grooves and body whorl with 7 grooves and 5 basal cords, columella smooth, outer lip denticulate. Tangier, Morocco, 12-21 metres.

N. tingitanus (Pallary) is the type-species of Hannonia Pallary, 1914, which, however, is a primary homonym of Hannonia Hoek, 1881, in Pantopoda. No substitute name is proposed as in our opinion N. tingitanus would be appropriately placed in the subgenus Aciculina A. Adams, 1853.
