From editor or global species database
Status Clearly not Turritellidae. Here considered taxon inquirendum by lack of recent literature. Placed in Cerithium by Orbigny, 1849, and later in Nerinea after Bronn, 1835, which could be a confusion of two different species (?following misapplication of the name by Phillips, 1829?). Considered in Cerithinella by Hudleston, 1891. Current placement not known at present. [details]
