Remarks.
This species has been considered as a member of the
Strophocheilidae
due to its general shell shape, with a relatively low spire (
Pilsbry 1944c
,
Haas 1955b
). The anatomy and phylogenetic data, however, clearly shows it belongs to the superfamily
Orthalicoidea
. The mentioning by
Schileyko (1999
: 282) of "2 spp." within this genus is erroneous as all described taxa are synonymous.
