Type material. Lectotype ( SMNH, 3610L) and Paralectotype ( SMNH, 3610) designated by Warén (1988).

MCZR –M–23603/P— 2 sh (Paralectotypes) “ England monterosati De Boury ”

MCZR–M–23607/P —4 sh (Paralectotypes) “ Eulima distorta var. gracilis Golfo di Napoli ” “Napoli Tiberi”

Type locality. England . Described also from Palermo (Sicily), Napoli ( Italy) and Atlantic.

Remarks. Monterosato introduced—with a brief description— Acicularia monterosatoi ex de Boury ms. for Eulima distorta Deshayes var. “ gracilis ” Forbes & Hanley, 1850 (and Jeffreys), avoiding to raise the latter name at specific rank, since E. gracilis would be a primary homonym of the slightly older Eulima gracilis C.B. Adams, 1850 . Later on, Monterosato published a poor photo of the species (1917: additional figures to pl. 1, fig. 34), which is now regarded to belong to the genus Melanella Bowdich, 1822 ( Sabelli et al., 1990 –1992: 34). Warén (1988: 21; 23, figs 11–12) selected and figured lectotype (SMNH, 3610L) and paralectotype (SMNH, 3610), both originally collected in England. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Melanella monterosatoi (Monterosato, 1890) .
