Spelling Bouchet & Snyder (2013) used the spelling Nodolatirus recurvirostrus and commented that the specific epithet of Turbinella recurvirostra was formed from the Latin adjective recurvus, meaning curved, and rostra, itself derived either from the noun rostrum or the adjective rostratus. They took the view that it was an incorrectly latinized adjective. Under Art. 32.5.1, the spelling recurvirostra is not to be corrected, but under Art. 31.2 it must agree in gender with the generic name with which it is combined. [details]
