03930B5EFF83FF991DEFB567FB86F921.taxon	discussion	COMPARISON Because of its moderately high shape and its developed cords spines, Typhinellus lamyi n. sp. should be compared with T. occlusus (Garrard, 1963) recorded from the Philippines and New Caledonia (80 - 200 m deep) and with T. labiatus (Cristofori & Jan, 1832). Specimens of T. occlusus can resemble T. lamyi n. sp. in bearing three dark blotches on the siphonal canal (Fig. 2 I and Hardy 2014); however, T. occlusus (Fig. 2 I) differs mainly by a smaller aperture, a longer siphonal canal (45.6 % of the total length) and a larger size up to 25 - 35 mm (instead 9.5 - 13 mm). On the biogeographical point of view, T. labiatus is closer to T. lamyi n. sp., both species living in the Atlantic Ocean. The shape of T. labiatus is rather similar to that of T. lamyi n. sp. and as for T. occlusus, several specimens of T. labiatus can resemble T. lamyi n. sp. in bearing three dark blotches on the siphonal canal (Hardy 2014). T. labiatus (Fig. 2 G, H) differs by its spiral sculpture; it displays secondary cords spines s 2 and s 4 missing in T. lamyi n. sp. (Fig. 11 A).	en	Garrigues, Bernard, Merle, Didier (2014): Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles.

03930B5EFF85FF9F1DB3B07FFE1AFC48.taxon	discussion	REMARKS In their muricid phylogeny based on molecular data, Barco et al. (2010) strongly suggested the polyphyly of the Muricinae sensu Vokes (1996), but, as the relationships with the clade Muricinae (s. s.) are not resolved, we cannot be totally sure of the lack of relationships between the Dermomurex subclade and the Attiliosa- Muricopsinae subclade and the clade Muricinae (s. s.). Considering these results, Merle et al. (2011) assigned Dermomurex to an informal Aspelloid group, for which the status among the clade of the Muricinae (s. s.) remains uncertain or needs to be verified.	en	Garrigues, Bernard, Merle, Didier (2014): Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles.

03930B5EFF8FFF8F1DA7B2A7FE96F921.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Lamarck (1816) figured Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 among shells coming from the Antilles and gave a description in 1822. Unfortunately, this name had previously been proposed by Gmelin (1791) and is usually unaccepted, because it is considered to be a junior primary homonym. However, the article 23.9.5 of the ICZN (1999) stipulates that: “ When an author discovers that a species-group name in use is a junior primary homonym [Art. 53.3] of another species-group name also in use, but the names apply to taxa not considered congeneric after 1899, the author must not automatically replace the junior homonym ” – the case should be referred to the Commission for a ruling under the plenary power and meanwhile prevailing usage of both names is to be maintained. ” In respect to this article, these two names are not considered congeneric after 1899 and the prevailing usage is maintained for Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 and Cerithium hexagonum (Gmelin, 1791). Murex hexagonus Gmelin, 1791, from the Middle Eocene of Europe, has been transferred in genus Cerithium (Bruguière 1792). Murex hexagonus Gmelin, 1791 is a junior synonym of Murex angulatus Solander in Brander 1766 and belongs to the genus Pyrazopsis Akopjan, 1972 (Harzhauser et al. 2013). In conclusion, the name Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 should be rehabilitated. Later, Smith (1938) described a subspecies Murex hexagonus oxytatus from a Plio-Pleistocene fossil (Caloosahatchee Formation, Florida, USA) and since Abbott (1958), M. oxytatus is usually used for Recent material (Abbott 1974, Fair 1976, Radwin & d’Attilio 1976, Abbott & Dance 1982, Vokes 1994, Houart 2006 see above the synonymic list). However, the case of M. hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 was not reconsidered and Vokes (1994) discussing M. zylmanae (Petuch, 1993) suggested that the figure of Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 displays more similarities with M. zylmanae than with M. oxytatus. Thus, the question of the identity of M. hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 was open. The study of numerous specimens of Murexsul collected in the Caribbean area allows to identify seven local species: Murexsul oxytatus (Smith, 1938), M. huberti (Radwin & D’Attilio, 1976), M. zylmanae and M. chesleri Houart, 2006, M. sunderlandi (Petuch, 1987), M. warreni (Petuch, 1993), M. jahami Merle & Garrigues, 2011 and to distinguish an eighth species. Thanks to the collaboration of Y. Finet (MHNG), we received photos of the two syntypes of Murex hexagonus. These photos correspond to the species that we identified as the eighth species. COMPARISON (SEE ALSO TABLE 3) Murexsul oxytatus (Fig. 7 G, H) is distinguished from M. hexagonus by columellar folds and by a shorter siphonal canal. In M. oxytatus, the length of siphonal canal is 24 % of the total length of the teleoconch (average on 11 spm), instead of 28 % for M. hexagonus (average on 14 spm), see also Fig. 9. In addition, the cord spines P 1 of M. hexagonus are longer than those of M. oxytatus. Murexsul zylmanae (Fig. 7 I) differs from M. hexagonus by hypertrophied cord spines P 1, P 3 and P 5, an atrophied P 4, a longer siphonal canal and a more acute spire. Murexsul huberti (Fig. 7 J) has a lower spire than M. hexagonus with an apical angle of 54 ° instead of 44 °. It displays seven varices on last whorl instead six. The protoconch is also shorter with 1.25 whorls instead 1.5 whorls. Murexsul chesleri (Fig. 7 K) exhibits a shorter siphonal canal, a broader infrasutural ramp. In M. chesleri, the cord spine P 3 is longer than the P 1 cord spine whereas in M. hexagonus, the P 1 cord spine is longer than the P 3 cord spine. Murexsul sunderlandi (Petuch, 1987) has a more globose shell with a lower spire and a peculiar red colour with white spiral bands. In comparison with M. warreni (Petuch, 1993), M. hexagonus displays a narrower shape, a higher spire and a longer siphonal canal. Murexsul warreni bears a white color white with black spots. Murexsul jahami Merle & Garrigues, 2011, differs from M. hexagonus by an inflated last whorl, a P 5 less developed, a more expanded columellar lip and a very scabrous surface.	en	Garrigues, Bernard, Merle, Didier (2014): Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles.
