Status. Pontocaspian species, identity uncertain.
Type locality. Caspian Sea (no details).
Distribution. Middle and southern Caspian Sea ( Logvinenko and Starobogatov 1969). This species was mentioned from depths between 200 and 400 m in the South Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan ( Mirzoev and Alekperov 2017, who reported the species as T. laticarinata ).
Taxonomic notes. The species is characterised by a massive keel near the lower suture.? Turricaspia dimidiata is distinguished based on its more centrally placed keel. This distinction is tentative and only based on comparison of available illustrations; we are aware of the possibility that these differences might not be diagnostic. Moreover, the keel seems to become stronger with increasing water depth ( Starobogatov 1968). Pyrgula laticarinata Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1969, which differs from T. basalis only in the strength of the keels, was considered a junior synonym by Neubauer et al. (2018).
Conservation status. Not assessed.
