GENUS RAMOLIVA COTTON & GODFREY, 1932 View in CoL .
Type species: Olivella adiorygma Verco, 1909 ; OD.
Remarks: The position of this monotypical genus is unclear. Overall, it has an olivoid shell with nonchannelled sutures, a very simplified pication plate and, according to the original illustration of the type species ( Verco, 1909: pl. 25, figs 3, 4), it lacks an anterior band. The last whorl is lifting towards the aperture, a character not known in any other Olivoidea . The species is known only from empty shells. Lee (2004) has suggested that this may be a columbellid, a hypothesis that we find convincing.
