REMARKS

The syntypes of Potamides bouryi , figured in the online database of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN.F.A29179), do not fall into Terebralia . They rather seem to have more affinities with the subfamily Bittiinae , such as the wide apertural canal, a finer spiral sculpture – including fine lines between spiral chords, and spiral cords at the base of the shell, closely resembling those of Bittium.
