| Abstract | The classification of the subfamily Typhinae is revised based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis. The genera Typhina Jousseaume, 1880, Typhisopsis Jousseaume, 1880 and Typhisala Jousseaume, 1881 are here treated as synonyms, and Typhina is given precedence over Typhisopsis. Trubatsa Da11, 1889 is confirmed as a separate, valid genus, based on morphological shell characters and molecular analysis. Choreotyphis Iredale, 1936 is also regarded as a valid genus but still requires validation by molecular analysis. An appendix of Recent Typhinae includes a short description of each genus. The list of Typhinae recorded from New Caledonia is updated. The validity of Trubatsa lozoueti (Houart, 1991), a species so far known only from the empty collected holotype, is confirmed by the morphological and molecular analysis of a second specimen. New species: Monstrotyphis adelos n. sp., M. maestratii n. sp. and Trubatsa alinkios n. sp. from New Caledonia, Siphonochelus hasegawai n. sp. from the South China Sea, and Typhina clarksoni n. sp. from Western Australia. New record from New Caledonia: Typhinellus occlusus (Garrard, 1963) and four still unidentified species, Laevityphis sp., Monstrotyphis sp., Siphonochelus cf S. arcuatus and Trubatsa sp. New combinations: Choreotyphis erythrostigrna (Keen & Campbell, 1964) (ex Siphonochelus); Choreotyphis pavlova (Iredale, 1936) (ex Siphonochelus); Typhina carolskoglundae (Houart & Hertz, 2006) (ex Typhisopsis); T. clarki (Keen & Campbell, 1964) (ex Typhisala); T. claydoni (Houart, 1988) (ex Typhisopsis); T. coronatus (Broderip, 1833) (ex Typhisopsis); T. grandis (A. Adams, 1855) (ex Typhisala); T. lamyi (Garrigues & Merle, 2014) (ex Typhinellus); TYPhis virginiae Houart, 1986 and all other species previously classified as Siphonochelus (Trubatsa) are assigned to Trubatsa. |
