Turricaspia concinna (Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1969)

*1969 Pyrgula (Turricaspia) concinna Logvinenko & Starobogatov: 365, fig. 362(3).

2016 Pyrgula concinna Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1968. - Vinarski and Kantor: 237.

Status. Pontocaspian species, identity uncertain.

Type locality. Middle Caspian Sea, 25-80 m.

Distribution. Type locality only.

Taxonomic notes. The illustrations provided by Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1969) indicate a large conical shell with nine convex whorls and a large, slightly inflated last whorl. These features are reminiscent of T. meneghiniana (Issel, 1865). However, T. concinna has not been found since its first description. The type material has been very recently detected in the collections of ZIN and awaits further study.

Conservation status. Not assessed.
