mediterranea, Pyramidella [ Tiberia mediterranea (Monterosato, 1880) ] ( Figures 27I, J )

1878c: 91 [XIX: 405]—nomen nudum

1880b: 224 [XXVI: 522]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–23653 —2 sh “ Pyramidella mediterranea Monts ”.

Type locality. Described from coasts of Africa.

Remarks. Accepted by Giannuzi–Savelli et al. (2014) and recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Tiberia minuscula (Monterosato, 1880) . However, T. mediterranea differs from T. minuscula in its smaller apex, and the larger size (almost twice with the same number of whorls). Therefore, we keep the two species as distinct [new status].
