Spiralinella spiralis explained

Spiralinella spiralis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Nomenclature

Høisæter (2014) advocated using the well-known specific name spiralis (Montagu, 1803) for this species, although Turbo spiralis Montagu, 1803 is a primary homonym of Turbo spiralis Poiret, 1801. The latter name could meet the conditions for being declared nomen oblitum but so far Høisæter (2014) did not provide the citations required by ICZN Art. 23.9 to make the declaration effective.
