Genus Solariella Wood, 1842

Type species

Solariella maculata Wood, 1842 (monotypy), Pliocene, England.

Remarks

This species belongs to the southern African radiation previously referred to the genus Spectamen Iredale, 1924 . However, recent molecular data indicate that other species from this southern African radiation do not cluster with the Australian Spectamen, but cluster instead with Solariella (S.T. Williams pers. com. 2023). Thus, for the present, I refer this new species to Solariella .
