(4) Cypris subglobosa Sowerby, 1840

was first described from fossil material recovered from Upper Cretaceous sediments. However, it is now well known that the Recent species commonly recorded as C. subglobosa is not identical with the fossil taxon with the same name (Whatley et al. 2003; Smith et al. 2011). The specimens of the exclusively fossil species have been reassigned to the genus Paracypretta as Paracypretta subglobosa (Sowerby, 1840) (Whatley et al. 2003) . Klie (1932) showed that the extant species is identical with Cypris granulata Daday, 1898, which therefore becomes the valid name for this extant, circumtropical species (Martens & Toguebaye 1985).
