Eumetula pulla (Philippi, 1845) Fig. 5G

Material examined.

2 spm (3 × 1 - 7 × 3 mm).

Synonymy.

See Cárdenas et al. (2008).

Remarks.

Cárdenas et al. (2008) noted that this species is different from the other species in its family because it does not have cords on the base. Morris and Rosenberg (2005) considered Cerithium caelatum (Gould, 1849) as a synonym of Eumetula pulla . However, Zelaya (2009a) considered it a valid species and suggested a significant revision of this complex of species.
