Remarks.

da Costa did not state on how many specimens his description was based. This species has been classified by Thaumastus s.str. by Breure (1979). Upon re-studying the specimens found, however, the protoconch appears to be pit-reticulated and the taxon may be better placed in Kara Strebel, 1910. This taxon is closely allied to Kara thompsonii (Pfeiffer, 1845) and Kara yanamensis (Morelet, 1863), and upon further studies may prove to be a synonym of either of these species.

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Kara indentata (da Costa, 1901) (comb. n.).
