Remarks. Vaughanites leptus was described from the Miocene of Jamaica , and classified in the Turridae Borsoniinae by Woodring (1928) . It is characterized by a particularly long canal and the two strong columellar folds, better seen when the shell is slightly turned counter-clockwise, similar to the plaits of Mitridae . The protoconch is unknown, all nine specimens cited by Woodring have a broken apex. Vaughanites leptus is the only record of Pyramimitridae in the Atlantic Ocean after the late Oligocene apparent disappearance of the family in Europe.
