Polinices View in CoL (?) sp.— Ilgar 2015: 69, fig. 5B10.

Discussion. The illustrated specimen is reminiscent of Euspira species with high conical spires, such as Euspira vinitor nov. sp. and Euspira vohlandae nov. sp. but the illustration in Ilgar (2015) seems to show a funicle with a semicircular umbilical callus, which make placement in Euspira doubtful. More material is needed to identify this species correctly.
