minuscula Barleeia [ Barleeia minuscula Monterosato, 1889 ] taxon inquirendum ( Figures 15P, Q )

1889c: 34 [XXXV: 866]—available name

Type material. MCZR –M–22287 —3 + 1 sh “ B. minuscula Monts. ms. Casablanca Marocco ”

Type locality. Described from Casablanca ( Morocco).

Remarks. MolluscaBase (2018) recorded it as a synonym of Eatonina fulgida (J. Adams, 1797) . However, the type material, perfectly fitting the original description, belongs to a species of the genus Barleeia W. Clark, 1853 , although we cannot say if it is different from B. unifasciata and keep it as taxon inquirendum [new status and new combination]
