Taxonomy 2 syntypes, reg nr 1955. 158. 250. in NMW. Warén, who examined these two shells, states that one shell is Parvioris ibizenca (Nordsieck, 1968) and the
other Crinophtheiros comatulicola (Graff, 1875).
This situation could implicate that P. ibizenca (Nordsieck, 1968) should become P. inconspicua (Watson, 1897). For the stability of the nomenclature, we suggest to consider Eulima inconspicua Watson, 1897 an invalid name [details]
