Genus Bolma Risso, 1826

Type species

Turbo rugosus Linnaeus, 1767 (monotypy), Miocene to Recent, NE Atlantic and Mediterranean.

Remarks

Specimens of Bolma from Walters Shoal are being studied by Magalie Castelin (MNHN) as part of an on-going molecular phylogenetic investigation of the genus across the Indo-West Pacific, building upon work already published (Castelin et al. 2017). Analysis of CO1 sequence data for specimens of both species discussed below confirms that they cluster with other western Indian Ocean samples of the species to which they are here assigned (Castelin unpublished data).
