Genus Curtitoma Bartsch, 1941 View in CoL
Type species: Curtitoma hecuba Bartsch, 1941
Bartsch (1941) erected the genus Curtitoma to accommodate species morphologically similar to members of the genera Oenopota Moerch, 1852 and Propebela Iredale, 1918 . The type species is Curtitoma hecuba Bartsch, 1941 , a synonym of Bela incisula Verrill, 1882 , from off New England ( Verrill, 1882). According to Bogdanov (1989) the shell of Curtitoma is characterized by a distinct anal sinus while in other genera, such Oenopota Mörch, 1852 and Propebela Iredale, 1918 , the anal sinus is virtually absent. Furthermore, the protoconch of species belonging to Curtitoma is sculptured by numerous fine spiral threads.
