Metula Adams View in CoL View at ENA &. Adams, 1853

Metula Adams &Adams, 1853: 84 View in CoL . Type species (s.d. Kobelt 1876): Buccinum clathratum Adams & Reeve, 1850 , non Kiener, 1834 [= Metula amosi Vanatta, 1913 View in CoL ].

Antimitra Iredale, 1917: 329 View in CoL . Syn. n. Type species (o.d.): Pleurotoma aegrota Reeve, 1845 .

Remarks: Powell’s 1966 interpretation of Antimitra was based on a raphitomine turrid misidentified as Pleurotoma aegrota , but with little resemblance to syntypes of that.

The apical whorls in particular differ widely – compare Shuto (1975: pl. 6, fig. 1, and

Fig. 1 View Fig , herein), and the description given by Powell (1966: 135).
