Remarks

Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008) suspected that Triphora dealbata (C.B. Adams, 1850) could be related to C. melanura (C.B. Adams, 1850), both described from Jamaica. The lectotype of T. dealbata is broken, without apex (Clench & Turner 1950: pl. 38 fig. 3), but its teleoconch is equal to that of C. melanura . Because C. melanura has priority over T. dealbata, appearing at the top of the same page on which T. dealbata was described, T. dealbata is regarded as a junior synonym.
