Type stratum. Tertiary.

Type material. Type material not located so far.

Geological age. Tertiary (Orbigny 1852).

Remarks. Orbigny (1852) considered Cerithium moniliferum Lea, 1843 a synonym of Cerithium submoniliferum d’Orbigny, 1847, however he did not state a reason for this suggested synonym. Dall (1892) considered this species a junior synonym of Cerithium melanura C.B. Adams, 1850 . A publication of 1847 in which Orbigny introduced the name Cerithium submoniliferum for the first time has not been found. The taxonomic status of this name deserves further research.
