marosticum, Drillocerithium [ Cerithium vulgatum –complex] taxon inquirendum ( Figures 9I, J )

1910: 73, pl. I, fig. 15 [LIX: 1201, 1205, fig. 15]—available name

Type material. MCZR –M–8861 —1 sh “Drillocerith. marosticum Monts. S. Nicola Isole Tremiti (Adr.) sulla spiaggia”// 3 sh “C. di S. Nicola Isole Tremiti (Adr.) 1906 legit Cecconi”

Type locality. Described from S. Nicola Is. ( Italy).

Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838 by MolluscaBase (2018). Based on the examined type shells it belongs rather in the Cerithium vulgatum –complex [new status].

monterosati, Cerithium (ex Brusina ms.) [ Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884 ] ( Figures 9K, L )

1900: 400 [LI: 1144]—available name

Type material. MCZR– M–8928— 1 sh + 1 frg “ renovatum M. Kerinia (Cipro) Cecc. [= Cecconi] 1899” // 4 sh “ C. monterosatoi Brus. Dalm. ” ex Brusina // 3 sh “ C. monterosati Brus. Dalmazia dedit Prof. Xxxx [unreadable] ex Coll Stalio”

Type locality. Described from Kérinia ( Cyprus), Sicily (ex. Philippi) and 'Dalmatia' (ex Brusina).

Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. Taxon introduced for Cerithium minutum de Serres, 1828 sensu Philippi, 1836 , considered as a distinct species. Type material probably also in Philippi’s collection. The material from Cyprus belongs to Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884 [new synonymy]. However, the samples from Dalmatia may belong to another species ( C. lividulum ?) confirming the problems in the morphological classification of these species (e.g. Garilli & Galletti, 2006).

† opinatum, Drillocerithium [ Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838 ] ( Figures 9M, N )

1910: 72, pl. I, fig. 10 [LIX: 1200, 1205, fig. 10]—available name

Type material. MCZR –M–30005 —2 sh “Drillocerith. opinatum M. fig. 10, p 72 1910— Pal. Foss. di Nizzeti ” . Type locality. Described from Nizzeti † (Sicily) .

Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. The type material belongs to Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838 [new synonymy].

† plicornatum, Gladiocerithium [ Cerithium alucastrum ( Brocchi, 1814) ] ( Figures 9O, P )

1910: 71, pl. I, fig. 4 [LIX: 1199, 1205, fig. 4]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–8644 —4 sh “ Gladiocerithium plicornatum, Monts. Sperlinga ! Palermo”

Type locality. Described from Sperlinga † (Sicily).

Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium alucastrum ( Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017) and MolluscaBase (2018). However, this Pliocene form does not fully correspond to the Recent C. alucastrum . We keep it in the synonymy of Brocchi’s species, but urge a revision of this complex that may include more species.

prismaticum, Gladiocerithium [ Cerithium alucastrum ( Brocchi, 1814) ]

1910: 70, pl. I, figs 8, 9 [LIX: 1198, 1205, figs 8, 9]—available name

Type material. Not found

Type locality. Described from Valencia ( Spain) and Ficarazzi † (Sicily).

Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium alucastrum ( Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017) and MolluscaBase (2018). However, the two shells figured (in photos) by Monterosato do not fully correspond to the specimen figured as Cerithium alucastrum ( Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017: 7, fig. 4F), and reported as a “shell conforming to Gladiocerithium prismaticum Monterosato, 1910 ”.

† pugioniferum, Hirtocerithium [ Cerithium vulgatum Bruguière, 1792 ] ( Figures 9Q, R )

1910: 74, pl. I, fig. 18) [LIX: 1202, 1205, fig. 18]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–8664 —3 sh “Hirtocerith. pugioniferum Monts , quatern. Di Larnaca (Cipro), tipi figurati in Conchiologia, note Cerith. viv. e foss. Pal. 1910, p. 74 t. I, f. 18”

Type locality. Described from Larnaca † ( Cyprus).

Remarks. Name introduced by means of a figure (description lacking). Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Cerithium vulgatum Bruguière, 1792 .

renovatum, Cerithium [ Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884 ]

1884h: 120 [XXXI: 776]—available name

Type material. Type material in Philippi’s collection: lectotype and one paralectotype in ZMHU (Gofas, Garilli & Boisselier–Dubayle, 2004: 100).

Type locality. Sicily.

Remarks. Nomen novum pro Cerithium vulgatum var. pulchella Philippi, 1836 , which—once raised to species level—becomes homonym of Cerithium pulchellum Dujardin, 1837 . Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884 .
