The genus Lophocochlias Pilsbry, 1921 (Gastropoda, Tornidae) in the Indo-West Pacific

This dataset is from a paper by Rubio F. & Rolán E. (2015) on the genus Lophocochlias Pilsbry, 1921 in the Indo-West Pacific.
The authors studied the species of the genus Lophocochlias, family Tornidae, of the tropical Indo-Pacific, collected during the expeditions of the Tropical deep-sea Benthos, directed by IRD and MNHN, in Madagascar, Reunion Island, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, the Philippine Islands, the Society Islands and Papua New Guinea. New data on geographical distribution and habitat of the species studied are provided, and their morphological variability is discussed.

本数据集源自Rubio F.与Rolán E.于2015年发表的研究论文，该论文聚焦印度-西太平洋区域的冠孔螺属（Lophocochlias Pilsbry, 1921）类群。作者针对热带印度-西太平洋区域梯螺科（Tornidae）冠孔螺属物种开展研究，样本采集自由法国开发研究院（IRD）与法国国家自然历史博物馆（MNHN）主导的热带深海底栖生物考察项目，考察覆盖区域包括马达加斯加、留尼旺岛、新喀里多尼亚、瓦努阿图、斐济、所罗门群岛、菲律宾群岛、社会群岛以及巴布亚新几内亚。本研究提供了所涉物种的地理分布与栖息环境的全新数据，并对其形态变异特征展开了讨论。
