MCZR–M–23653 —2 sh “ Pyramidella mediterranea Monts ”. Type locality. Described from coasts of Africa. Remarks. Accepted by Giannuzi–Savelli et al. (2014) and recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Tiberia minuscula (Monterosato, 1880) . However, T. mediterranea differs from T. minuscula in its smaller apex, and the larger size (almost twice with the same number of whorls). Therefore, we keep the two species as distinct [ new status ].
