From editor or global species database
Authority Dechen (1832:533) lists this name without further description nor illustration as "Turritella spinosa, G.[oldfuss]", Buccinum sp. Sow.[erby]". No collaboration of Goldfuss to the work of Dechen, nor any publication of Goldfuss prior to Dechen, 1832 describing such species has been traced back thus far. No "Buccinum sp. to which Dechen refers has at present been found in any publication of any of the Sowerby family works prior to Bechen, 1832. Hence, it is considered a nomen nudum under Dechen authority. [details]
