Remarks.
This species has been synonymized with
Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea
by
Breure (1978
: 235). Upon re-study of the type specimens of
Weyrauch's
taxon we
notice
that the holotype seems to be the most adult shell and is different from
Moricand's
species. The paratypes in SMF (Fig. 82C) and FML are subadult and similar to
Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea
. It is possible that this taxon may prove to be a related species, for which anatomical and molecular studies are needed.
Weyrauch's
taxon is now re-surrected and considered as nomen inquirendum until further studies have clarified its systematic position.
