Triforis savignyanus (Delle Chiaje, 1828) — Tryon 1887: 187.

Type locality. Italy, Regno di Napoli .

Type material. Type material not located so far.

Remarks. Tryon (1887) considered this species a junior synonym of Trochus perversus Linnaeus, 1758 . Bouchet (1985) considered it a nomen dubium because Delle Chiaje based it on a specimen illustrated by Savigny (1817: plate 4, fig. 4) which is in poor condition and most probably coming from the Red Sea.
