Cerithium georgianum Pfeffer in Martens & Pfeffer, 1886, p. 97-98, pl. 2, fig. 7 [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Süd-Georgien [South Georgia] Range: 54.33°S to 54.33°S; 36.25°W to 36.23°W Depth: 1 m Maximum Reported Size: 5 mm Distribution: Subantarctic: South Georgia References: Martens & Pfeffer (1886) M; Powell (1951) c; Castellanos (1982a); Castellanos & Landoni (1986); Davolos & Moolenbeek (2005) DdNSEW Comments: See Mathilda argentina for Argentina records (as Mathilda georgiana) and Prosipho turritus for South Orkney records (as Cerithium georgianus). The neotype designation by Davolos & Moolenbeek (2005) is invalid as they do not express an exceptional need for a neotype (ICZN Article 75.3) or state characters that differentiate the species from other taxa (Article 75.3.4).
