Taxonomic remark The species described and illustrated by Thiele (1925) definitely belongs to Mangeliidae P. Fischer, 1883. Bozzetti (1993) without any discussion and undoubtedly erroneously attributed the species to Comitas. Therefore, we reinstate herein the original binomen of the species, although the generic position of the species requires clarification (Kantor et al., 2025) [details]
