Drillocerithium marosticum

description: marosticum, Drillocerithium [Cerithium vulgatum –complex] taxon inquirendum (Figures 9I, J)
1910: 73, pl. I, fig. 15 [LIX: 1201, 1205, fig. 15]—available name
Type material. MCZR –M–8861 —1 sh “Drillocerith. marosticum Monts. S. Nicola Isole Tremiti (Adr.) sulla spiaggia”// 3 sh “C. di S. Nicola Isole Tremiti (Adr.) 1906 legit Cecconi”
Type locality. Described from S. Nicola Is. (Italy).
Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838 by MolluscaBase (2018). Based on the examined type shells it belongs rather in the Cerithium vulgatum –complex [new status].
monterosati, Cerithium (ex Brusina ms.) [Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884] (Figures 9K, L)
1900: 400 [LI: 1144]—available name
Type material. MCZR– M–8928— 1 sh + 1 frg “ renovatum M. Kerinia (Cipro) Cecc. [= Cecconi] 1899” // 4 sh “ C. monterosatoi Brus. Dalm. ” ex Brusina // 3 sh “ C. monterosati Brus. Dalmazia dedit Prof. Xxxx [unreadable] ex Coll Stalio”
Type locality. Described from Kérinia (Cyprus), Sicily (ex. Philippi) and 'Dalmatia' (ex Brusina).
Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. Taxon introduced for Cerithium minutum de Serres, 1828 sensu Philippi, 1836, considered as a distinct species. Type material probably also in Philippi’s collection. The material from Cyprus belongs to Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884 [new synonymy]. However, the samples from Dalmatia may belong to another species (C. lividulum?) confirming the problems in the morphological classification of these species (e.g. Garilli & Galletti, 2006).
† opinatum, Drillocerithium [Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838] (Figures 9M, N)
1910: 72, pl. I, fig. 10 [LIX: 1200, 1205, fig. 10]—available name
Type material. MCZR –M–30005 —2 sh “Drillocerith. opinatum M. fig. 10, p 72 1910— Pal. Foss. di Nizzeti ”. Type locality. Described from Nizzeti † (Sicily).
Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. The type material belongs to Cerithium protractum Ant. Bivona in And. Bivona, 1838 [new synonymy].
† plicornatum, Gladiocerithium [Cerithium alucastrum (Brocchi, 1814)] (Figures 9O, P)
1910: 71, pl. I, fig. 4 [LIX: 1199, 1205, fig. 4]—available name
Type material. MCZR–M–8644 —4 sh “ Gladiocerithium plicornatum, Monts. Sperlinga! Palermo”
Type locality. Described from Sperlinga † (Sicily).
Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium alucastrum (Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017) and MolluscaBase (2018). However, this Pliocene form does not fully correspond to the Recent C. alucastrum. We keep it in the synonymy of Brocchi’s species, but urge a revision of this complex that may include more species.
prismaticum, Gladiocerithium [Cerithium alucastrum (Brocchi, 1814)]
1910: 70, pl. I, figs 8, 9 [LIX: 1198, 1205, figs 8, 9]—available name
Type material. Not found
Type locality. Described from Valencia (Spain) and Ficarazzi † (Sicily).
Remarks. Recorded as a synonym of Cerithium alucastrum (Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017) and MolluscaBase (2018). However, the two shells figured (in photos) by Monterosato do not fully correspond to the specimen figured as Cerithium alucastrum (Brocchi, 1814) by Garilli et al. (2017: 7, fig. 4F), and reported as a “shell conforming to Gladiocerithium prismaticum Monterosato, 1910 ”.
† pugioniferum, Hirtocerithium [Cerithium vulgatum Bruguière, 1792] (Figures 9Q, R)
1910: 74, pl. I, fig. 18) [LIX: 1202, 1205, fig. 18]—available name
Type material. MCZR–M–8664 —3 sh “Hirtocerith. pugioniferum Monts, quatern. Di Larnaca (Cipro), tipi figurati in Conchiologia, note Cerith. viv. e foss. Pal. 1910, p. 74 t. I, f. 18”
Type locality. Described from Larnaca † (Cyprus).
Remarks. Name introduced by means of a figure (description lacking). Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Cerithium vulgatum Bruguière, 1792.
renovatum, Cerithium [Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884]
1884h: 120 [XXXI: 776]—available name
Type material. Type material in Philippi’s collection: lectotype and one paralectotype in ZMHU (Gofas, Garilli & Boisselier–Dubayle, 2004: 100).
Type locality. Sicily.
Remarks. Nomen novum pro Cerithium vulgatum var. pulchella Philippi, 1836, which—once raised to species level—becomes homonym of Cerithium pulchellum Dujardin, 1837. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884.
