Endnotes

  • Prunum bellum: Campbell (1993) restricted this species to the Plio-Pleistocene; if this is correct, then the next available name for the Recent species is Prunum bellulum (Dall, 1890), which was described as a variety of P. bellum. The name Volvarina avenacea, which is a misspelling and a misidentification of V. avena, might also refer to this species [GR].
