Oliva diaphana sic, [Not available] Attributed to: Duclos (1835) Comments: Apparently a lapsus for tisiphona by Burch & Burch (1960), who listed diaphana Duclos, 1835 as a synonym of O. reticularis. Burch (1959: 7) used the spelling tisophana in a list of synonyms of O. reticularis, but did not mention diaphana.

[Marrat 1871:6], pl. 330, fig. 36 [Synonym] Type Locality: S[outh] America Maximum Reported Size: 45 mm References: Marrat (1870) M; Sterba (2004) s Comments: Oliva graphica was treated as a synonym of O. tisiphona by Sterba (2004) and of O. fulgurator by Hunon, Hoarau & Robin (2009).

Dark markings in O. fulgurator if present are retricted to the posterior end (Rosenberg, herein, 20 April 2009).
