Following new synonyms are listed: Tritonalia semidisjuncta Turton, 1932 and T. aedicularum = Vaughtia babingtoni (Sowerby, 1892); Ocenebra hayesi Lorenz, 1995 = V. jucunda (Thiele, 1925); Ocenebra newmanni Lorenz, 1990 = V. dunkeri (Krauss, 1848); Cominella fuscopicta Turton, 1932 = V. fenestrata (Gould, 1860); Purpura cribrosa Krauss, 1859 = V. scrobiculata (Dunker, 1846). |
