Genus
Thericium
Monterosato, 1890
Type
species.
Cerithium vulgatum
Bruguière, 1792
, by original designation (
Monterosato 1890: 163
). Present-day, Mediterranean.
Note.
Most authors have placed these Atlantic cerithiid species in the genus
Cerithium
Bruguière, 1789
.
Landau
et al
. (2004a: 5)
argued that true
Cerithium
(
sensu stricto
) was an Indo-Pacific genus, characterised by a flaring outer lip with a tooth-like extension abapically projecting over the anterior siphonal canal, and a relatively longer siphonal canal. We follow those authors in using
Thericium
Monterosato, 1890
, at full genus level.
