Type material. Holotype and 44 paratypes should be in the ZIN collection; despite major effort, none of the specimens could be located in this institution. One paratype, being a subadult specimen with partially destroyed aperture, was retrieved in the collection of the NMNH NASU (IKOFZ-It-167).

Type locality. Dnieper river near Kherson, Kherson region, Ukraine ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 , locality 30a). The only retrieved paratype was collected from the Dnieper delta (locality 30d) .

Other material. One specimen from the type locality, collected in 1982 by T.L. Alexenko and determined by her in cooperation with Ya.I. Starobogatov ( UGSB 25237 ). One specimen from the late Holocene deposits of near Kiliya, Odessa region, Ukraine ( IZAN unnumbered, locality 32) .

Remarks. Alexenko & Starobogatov (1987) considered this species similar to the Caspian C. gmelinii , from which it is said to differ only in the more inflated whorls, the weaker sculpture and a slightly smaller shell. In combination with the measurements provided with the original description, C. stanislavi rather resembles the holotype of C. makarovi , which is present considered a synonym of C. knipowitschii . Thus, C. stanislavi is very likely too a synonym of C. knipowitschii , but a final decision requires investigation of the type material, foremost the holotype, and/or a genetic study once fresh material becomes available ( Wesselingh et al. 2019). The species is treated as a taxon inquirendum.

Distribution. Endemic to the Black Sea Basin, known today only from the delta of the Dnieper River in the vicinity of Stanislav village and Dnieper-Bug liman ( Ukraine). One shell was retrieved from late Holocene deposits of the Danube Delta.
