Remarks.

This taxon was classified as a Naesiotus species by Breure (1979). The sculpture of the protoconch is, however, not straightly axially ribbed but with a waving sculpture that is typical for species classified with Vermiculatus Breure, 1978. The specimen figured by Reeve is here designated lectotype (design. n.) to define the taxon.
