New Australian species of the deep-water snail genera Comispira (Conoidea: Cochlespiridae) and Leucosyrinx (Conoidea: Pseudomelatomidae),

The samples studied herein were selected from the deep-sea Conoidea ethanol-preserved material in the malacological collections of the Australian Museum, Sydney (AMS), the South Australian Museum, Adelaide (SAMA), the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart, Australia (TMAG), the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, Munich, Germany (ZSM) and the Zoological Museum Moscow State University (ZMMU). All studied material has been collected in a series of voyages along the Australian coast [IN2015_C01, IN2015_C02, IN2017_C01, RE_2017, Great Australian Bight (GAB); IN2017_V03, temperate east coast; IN_2018_V06, Tasmanian seamounts].
