Lyria (Lyria) ogasawarana sp. nov. (Figure 1, 2 A���B, K) Lyria sp. Fukuda, 1994. Ogasawara Research No. 20, Part 2: 20, pl. 22, fig. 537., Published as part of Bail, Patrice & Chino, Mitsuo, 2015, A new species of Lyria (Gastropoda: Volutidae) from Southern Japan, pp. 142-146 in Zootaxa 3926 (1) on page 143, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3926.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/238282

Lyria sp. (Fig. 4 A) Description. Fragment of a narrow spire, H 14.8, D 9.0 mm. Protoconch eroded, probably paucispiral. Teleoconch of four whorls, the last broken. Whorls high, weakly convex, delineated by a deep, linear suture. Axial sculpture of strong but narrowly rounded costae, almost corresponding from whorl to whorl. No spiral sculpture. Costae opisthocline, rather straight. Columella with at least three folds. Material. 1 spm (stn 5: CPAG.RAN. I. 1, cast MNHN.F. A 50339). Comments. Although the aperture of this specimen is lacking, the shape of its teleoconch whorls is similar to those found in other members of Lyria, as for example in Lyria subturgidula (d���Orbigny, 1850) from the Middle Eocene of the Paris Basin. By its high whorls and its straight costae, this specimen is easily distinguishable from Lyria cossmanni Vredenburg, 1923 (=? L. feddeni Vredenburg, 1923) from the Lakhra Formation and from Lyria samanaensis Cox, 1930 from the Hangu Formation (Samana Range, North Pakistan). Both species belong to another genus, Lyriopsis nov. gen., described below. Stratigraphic range.
