crassior, Turritella sulcifera – Graves, 1847: 602, ex Deshayes ms, is a nomen nudum.

vermicularis , Turritella – E. Lamy (1927: 380) attributed this species to “Laborde” (i.e., Deshayes, in Laborde, 1833d: 66, pl. 65, figs 11-

12), but Deshayes had cited Turbo vermicularis Brocchi (1814 : pl. 6, fig. 13), now Helminthia vermicularis ( Brocchi, 1814) ( Landau et al. 2013: 62-64, pl. 5, fig. 11), so Deshayes’ usage was a new combination, not a new species. Deshayes stated that this material was the Recent analog of Brocchi’s fossil species [“l’analogue vivant de la coquille fossile figurée par Brocchi”], so that Deshayes’ usage of “Nob.” [nobis or new] for this species was in error. Brocchi’s species is limited to the Early Miocene to Early Pleistocene of the Mediterranean and is not known living ( Landau et al. 2013: 64), so Deshayes’ living material may be referrable to another Red Sea turritellid.
