Details


Rissoina (Zebina) vitrinella Mörch, 1876a, p. 45, [Faber 2005b, figs. 9-14]
[Basis of the current name]
Type Locality: St. Thomas
Range: 26°N to 12.2°N; 77°W to 65°W
Depth: 0 to 10 m
Maximum Reported Size: 5.4 mm
Distribution: ABC Islands: Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire; Bahamas: Abaco (Great or Little); Dominican Republic; Virgin Islands: St. Thomas
References: Mörch (1876a) E; Redfern (2001) Dd; Faber (2005b) NSWTM
Comments: Faber (2005b) designates a lectotype, but its measurements fit those of Mörch's Rissoina vitrinella var. major, described on the same page, so it is not clear if the specimen was eligible to be a lectotype. It may be subsequently collected material in the Riise collection. Faber (2005b) regards specimens illustrated as Z. vitrinella by Jong & Coomans (1988) from Aruba and by Redfern (2001) from Abaco as being an unidentified species, but confirms the presence of Z. vitrinella in Aruba.
