Type: USNM 113233 (not at the original description; reported in Boss et al., 1968; figured by Pimenta & Absalão, 2002: fig. 18).

Type locality: Pliocene of Caloosahatchie ; Recent, Cape Hatteras to Haiti, 12 to 15 fms.

Remarks: Turbonilla obsoleta ( Dall, 1892) was first described as a subspecies of T. puncta (C.B. Adams, 1850) ( Jamaica), and became a secondary homonym of T. obsoleta (Carpenter, 1857) and T. obsoleta Seguenza, 1880 when Pimenta & Absalão (2002) justifiably elevated it to the species′ rank, a species with range from Florida to Rio de Janeiro. The name is coauthored with Alexandre Dias Pimenta (Museu Nacional of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), and is in honor of his coauthor, our mentor and enthusiastic Brazilian malacologist, Ricardo da Silva Absalão.
