Trochus fraterculus

description: fraterculus, Trochus [Jujubinus fraterculus (Monterosato, 1880)] (Figures 4G, H)
1878c: 82 [XIX: 396]—nomen nudum
1880b: 220 [XXVI: 518]—available name
Type material. MCZR –M–11705 —8 sh “Monotrochus fraterculus Monts Spugne di Sfax!”// 26 sh “ M. fraterculus Monts (Zizyph.), Boll. malac. Ital. 1880 p. 220 Spugne di Sfax ”// 2 sh “Golfo di Gabes ”// 6 sh “ Sfax ” Type locality. Described from Tunisia.
Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. We consider it as a valid species [new status] granolirata, Clanculopsis [Clanculus jussieui (Payraudeau, 1826)] taxon inquirendum (Figures 4I, J)
1889c: 30 [XXXV: 862]—available name
Type material. MCZR –M–10935 —4 sh + 5 juv. + 3 frg “ Cl. granolirata Monts. ms. Casablanca Marocco ”// 2 sh “ Clanculopsis nova sp. Casablanca Marocco ”.
Type locality. Described from Casablanca (Morocco).
Remarks. Not recorded by MolluscaBase (2018). Monterosato compared his Clanculopsis granolirata to Monodonta glomus Philippi, 1844: 157, that MolluscaBase (2018) also lists in the synonymy of Clanculus jussieui (Payraudeau, 1826). Gofas (2017) suggested that specimens from Southern Spain (Gofas et al. 2011: 106) corresponding to Clanculus granoliratus, based on their stronger cords than C. jussieui, could represent a different species. We would keep it under C. jussieui, but as taxon inquirendum [new status].
isseli, Gibbula [Gibbula racketti (Payraudeau, 1826)] taxon inquiriendum (Figures 5A, B)
1888a: 175 [XXXIV: 837]—available name
Type material. MCZR –M–11304 —2 sh “G. (Phorculus) Isseli, Monts. Boll. Mal. Ital. 1889 p. 174” “Santo Stefano pr. Costantinop. (Issel as Tr. tumidus)”
Type locality. Described from Istanbul (Turkey).
Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Gibbula racketti (Payraudeau, 1826). We include with some doubts G. isseli in the synonymy of G. racketti following the currently accepted interpretation (MolluscaBase 2018). However, some peculiar features, such as the narrower umbilical chink and the monochrome whitish colour may prove diagnostic at the species level.
laeviusculus, Jujubinus (?) [Jujubinus laeviusculus Monterosato, 1890] taxon inquirendum
1890a: 145 [XXXVIII a: 899]—available name
Type material. Not found
Type locality. Not indicated. Probably Palermo (Sicily) [found with G. tantilla (1890a: 145)].
Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum.
