Remarks: Turbonilla deboeri (figs. 1317) has the same spiral sculpture pattern described for T. puncta , but can be distinguished by the outline of the whorls, which are semipyriform, with marked convexity in their posterior halves; and by the larger diameter of the protoconch, which ranges from 256 m to 333 m (mean diameter: 307 m, n = 29; 282 m in the holotype). T. deboeri exhibits some variation in the number of axial ribs per whorl and in the intercoastal spaces.
