Remarks

We tentatively assign C. (T.) euboicum to the subgenus Turritus based on the shell morphology of the specimen in A.J. Wagner’s collection. Wagner (1897: 46–47) classified this species as part of the “Formenkreis Difficilis ”, with C. (T.) patulum and C. (T.) gracile (on the label of the specimen, however, it is classified as a subspecies of C. (T.) sturanii).
