Treatment

Orattrina pulchella Natale, 1850: 11 , figs 1, 2.

Type material

Type material could not be located in any major Italian museum (see acknowledgments) and is presumed lost. The type locality is the Mediterranean Sea, Port of Messina , Gulf of Naples .

Remarks

Stebbing (1888: 1624) suspects that this may be V. jeangerardi , but the description of Natale is insufficient to verify this, and the figures represent a rather bizarrelooking Vibilia .
