GENUS JASPIDELLA OLSSON, 1956 (2)

Type species: Voluta jaspidea Gmelin, 1791 ; OD.

Remarks: The genus was established in the subfamily Olivinae on the basis of the tricuspidate rachidian tooth. The type species from the Caribbean has a shell similar to that of Belloliva , as well as the operculum, also characteristic for this family. No material was available to us and we attribute Jaspidella conditionally to Bellolividae on the basis of shell and radula similarities.
