Euspira View in CoL ? sp. 1

Natica sp. — Ilgar 2015: 69, fig. 5A33.

Discussion. A small, spherical species, which is reminiscent of Euspira eblera ( De Gregorio, 1885) but lacks its bifid anterior parietal lobe and umbilical callus. It might represent a juvenile Euspira protracta ( Eichwald, 1830) . General shape and umbilical features, with a narrow umbilical channel and narrowly semicircular umbilical callus might also point to a placement in Notocochlis Powell, 1933 [ type species Cochlis migratoria Powell, 1927 , = Notocochlis gualteriana ( Récluz, 1844) , present-day, Indo-West Pacific]. More material is needed to confirm this generic placement.
