Original source.
Graells 1846: 17, [unnumbered plate], figs 16-19.
Type locality.
Spain [no locality indicated].
Remarks.
Graells (1846) indicated that the "brothers Villa" dedicated the species to him. The name " graellsi " as mentioned in Pallary (1924: 250) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. It is unclear why Pallary considered the species as a junior synonym of " Buccinum annulatum Chemnitz". That species, which is not available from Chemnitz (1795: 91, pl. 188, figs 1812-1813) according to Opinion 184 (ICZN 1944), is not even a freshwater snail but dwells in the southern Pacific ( Nassariidae ?).
