Type species. Caspia pallasii Clessin & W. Dybowski in W. Dybowski, 1887; by original designation. Caspian Sea, Recent.

Remarks. Because of the number of Clathrocaspia species presently accepted and the different concepts that have been applied to these species (see Remarks sections below), we provide here an overview of all accepted Clathrocaspia species to allow for comparison of relevant shell traits ( Fig. 7 ).

FIGURE 7. Comparison of shell characteristics of accepted Clathrocaspia species, with representative specimens (scale bar = 1 mm). Outlines of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea indicate general distributions. The coloured dots indicate whether the species has been encountered alive (green) or only reported from shells (red). Note that the information for C. knipowitschii is based only on C. knipowitschii knipowitschii; the fossil C. knipowitschii aluschtensis was not considered here.
