Description

There seems to be some confusion as to regards the synonyms of this species. Gastropods.com considers Lora quadra Dall, 1919 a synonym, while WoRMS considers Lora quadra a synonym of Oenopota quadra (Dall, 1919).. Forster considers Bela solida Dall, 1887 (and Lora solida Dall, 1921) a synonym of Oenopota solida Dall, 1887, while WoRMS doesn't mention Oenopota solida^[1]
