Historical material. MCZR –M–30051 — 12 sh “Phasianella Joly. Monts. Juv. Orano ” “ Tricoliella jolyi Journ. Conch. 1889 p. 30, 31. ” “ Les Phasianelles meritant un etude special…”

Type locality. Described from Casablanca (Morocco) and Guyotville , Algiers (Algeria) .

Remarks. We have found only non – type specimens from Oran labelled by Monterosato, that confirms it is a junior synonym of Tricolia miniata (Monterosato, 1884), as suggested by Gofas (1982: 197). Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Tricolia miniata (Monterosato, 1884) .

miniata, Tricoliella [ Tricolia miniata (Monterosato, 1884)]

1884h: 50 [XXXI: 706]—available name

Type material. Not found

Type locality. Described from Tangier (Morocco), Palermo (Sicily).

Remarks. First described as a variety of Tricoliella punctata (Risso, 1826) [= Tricolia pullus pullus (Linnaeus, 1758)], the name was raised to specific rank before 1985 (Gofas, 1982: 197), thus becoming available (ICZN, 1999: art. 45.6.4.1). Tricoliella miniata is a senior synonym of Tricoliella jolyi Monterosato, 1889; part of the type material (from Tanger, Morocco) should be in the NHML (Monterosato, 1889), however Gofas (1982: 199) did not found it. Monterosato (1884h: 50) recorded “similar specimens” [“esemplari affini”] from Malta, where this species seems to be absent. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Tricolia miniata (Monterosato, 1884) .
