Otitoma

provided by wikipedia EN

Otitoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.[2]

This genus consists of species with a rather variable appearance. Their different morphology points to an uncommon diversification.[3]

Taxonomy

This genus was considered a nomen dubium by Powell in 1966,[4] until Kilburn resurrected it in 2004.[5] He considered Thelecytharella a synonym of Otitoma. Finally in 2011 Bouchet et al. closed the debate about this genera based on molecular evidence and assigned Otitoma to the family Pseudomelatomidae.[6]

Species

Species within the genus Otitoma include:

Species brought into synonymy
  • Otitoma crenulata Pease, 1868: synonym of Otitoma cyclophora (Deshayes, 1863)
  • Otitoma mitra (Kilburn, 1986): synonym of Otitoma cyclophora (Deshayes, 1863)
  • Otitoma ottitoma Jousseaume, 1898: synonym of Otitoma cyclophora (Deshayes, 1863)
