Pleurotoma aegrota Reeve, 1845 : pl. 31, sp. 276. Type locality: Singapore, 7 fath. [= approx. 13 m].

Antimitra aegrata [sic]: Shuto 1975: 168, pl. 6, figs 1 (protoconch), 2 (lip profile).

Type material: Two syntypes BMNH 1963924 .

Remarks: The identity of Metula aegrota is based on juvenile shells, and remains to be established with more precision through direct comparison with growth series of described species of genus Metula . Unfortunately the apical whorls in adult shells are almost always eroded or damaged.
