GENUS EUSPIRA AGASSIZ, 1837 View in CoL (?)

Type species — Natica glaucinoides J. Sowerby, 1812 View in CoL accepted as Euspira glaucinoides (J. Sowerby, 1812) View in CoL by subsequent designation of Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dolfuss (1833:143). Eocene, Europe (see Kabat, 1991: Bull MCZ 152:429 for more details).

Differential Diagnosis — This new species is questionably referred to the genus Euspira , which is characterized by a globose shell, spire moderately elevated, and an open umbilicus partially blocked by a weakly developed umbilical callus. While these features are found in Euspira ? louiemarincovichi it differs in having a higher spire than all but eastern Pacific and Arctic Euspira except E. pallida ( Broderip and Sowerby, 1829) and in having sculpture.

Geological Range — Late Jurassic ( Das et al. 2019) to Holocene.
