Plekocheilus (Eurytus) phoebus (Pfeiffer, 1863)
Remarks. Studying the lectotype (BMNH 1975143), we noticed that the shape of the shell is unlike other Plekocheilus species. It has an acute spire with the nucleus of the protoconch sunken, the last whorl slightly angulated at the periphery and a bi-colored band below the suture. The protoconch is entirely smooth and it probably belongs to the Orthalicidae (sensu Breure et al. 2010) .
