Taxonomic notes. Hydrobia pontieuxini , described from the Black Sea coast in Mangalia, Romania, has been considered a synonym of E. maritima based on molecular data ( Kevrekidis et al. 2005). Herein, we also consider the Pseudopaludinella species introduced by Anistratenko and Prisyazhniuk (1992) as junior synonyms of E. maritima based on morphological similarities. A proper revision is still pending.

Conservation status. Not assessed.
