Tulotoma Haldeman, 1840 View in CoL
Examined species: Tulotoma magnifica (Conrad, 1834) ( Figs 2F View Figure 2 , 3F View Figure 3 , 6F View Figure 6 ).
Remarks: The operculum of Tulotoma can be easily distinguished from that of all other genera based on the following characters: semi-elliptical shape; inwardly folded opercular apex and opercular base; outwardly folded inner margin; a rough, nontransparent and small inner opercular region; and a wide, thin marginal region that obviously differs in colour from the enamel region, especially when it is compared with Rivularia Heude, 1890 . Like Tulotoma , Rivularia has a semi-elliptical shape and subcentral nucleus.
