Remarks.

This species has been synonymized with Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea by Breure (1978: 235). Upon re-study of the type specimens of Weyrauch’s taxon we notice that the holotype seems to be the most adult shell and is different from Moricand’s species. The paratypes in SMF (Fig. 82C) and FML are subadult and similar to Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea . It is possible that this taxon may prove to be a related species, for which anatomical and molecular studies are needed. Weyrauch’s taxon is now re-surrected and considered as nomen inquirendum until further studies have clarified its systematic position.
