Description

Type locality: MONACO st 719, 39°11N, 29°06W, 1600 m.
Material examined: The type and one additional shell from the lype locality.
Remarks. The placement of chevreuxi in Phymorhynchus is provisional until something is known of the soft parts. It can be separated from P. alberti by being more slender, by having a better marked subsutural zone without spiral ribs and by having fainter axial sculpture. P. sulcifera has a distinct axial sculpture of broad ribs which separate it from chevreuxi.
