Cinysca spuria ( Gould, 1861) View in CoL —new combination

Monilea spuria Gould, 1861: 17 . G.B. Sowerby (III), 1897: 18. Type loc.: Simon’s Bay [Simonstown, False Bay]; lectotype in USNM (24269), designated by Johnson (1964: 152), figured by Bartsch (1915).

Turbo (Collonia) armillatus G.B. Sowerby (III), 1886b: 211, pl. 500, fig. 93. Type loc.: Australia [H. Cuming Coll’n], erroneous; three syntypes in NHM (NHMUK 1984192), Salvador pers. comm. (vii/2015). Syn. nov.

Gibbula armillata —G.B. Sowerby (III), 1892: 43.

Leptothyra armillata — E.A. Smith, 1906: 53.

Leptothyra spuria — Bartsch, 1915: 146, 22, figs 4–6 (lectotype of Monilea spuria ).

Leptothyra africana Bartsch, 1915: 147 , pl. 22, figs 1–3. Turton, 1932, 176, pl. 42, no. 1247. Type loc.: Port Alfred, E. Cape; holotype in USNM (186866). Syn. nov.

Cynisca gloriosa Bartsch, 1915: 163 , pl. 31, figs 6–8. Turton, 1932: 194. Type loc.: Port Alfred, E. Cape; holotype in USNM (250515). Syn. nov.

? Leptothyra eucosmia Turton, 1932: 177 , pl. 42, no. 1254. Type loc.: Port Alfred, E. Cape; type material probably in OXUM, but verification required.

? Cynisca formosa Turton, 1932: 194 , pl. 50, no. 1350. Type loc.: Port Alfred, E. Cape; type material probably in OXUM, but verification required.

Cynisca granulosa (non Krauss, 1848)— Turton, 1932: 194.

Cinysca granulosa View in CoL (non Krauss, 1848)— Richards, 1981: 36 (in part), pl. 9, fig. 72. Kilburn & Rippey, 1982: 48 (in part), pl. 9, fig. 13. Steyn & Lussi, 1998: 28 (in part), fig. 91. Herbert & Warén, 1999: 223. Marais, 2011: 9.

Distribution. Southern Cape, from Port Alfred to False Bay; living LST and shallow subtidal.

Notes. Judging from the width of the umbilicus as shown in the original figures, Cinysca gloriosa ( Bartsch, 1915) is a strongly sculptured male specimen of C. spuria . Whether Turton’s C. formosa is also referable here is unclear. The illustration provided indicates the sculpture to be more finely beaded than that of C. spuria . Leptothyra eucosmia Turton, 1932 is simply a juvenile Cinysca , in all probability C. spuria . After describing Turbo (Collonia) armillatus from Australia, G.B. Sowerby (III) later recorded it from Port Elizabeth (G.B Sowerby (III) 1892). This name does not seem to have been used subsequently for any Australian species and it is thus probable that the original material was mislocalised.
