Rissoa corilea Sowerby II, 1876,  pl. 3, fig. 24
[Synonym]
Type Locality: Cuba
Maximum Reported Size: 6 mm
Distribution: Cuba
References: Sowerby II (1876) M; Rosenberg (herein) s
Comments: Sowerby attributed Rissoa corilea to 'D'Orbigny. Mollusques de l'Ile de Cuba' without citing pages or figures; the name does not occur there. Tryon (1887) treated the name as a misspelling of Rissoa caribaea d'Orbigny, 1842 (now Manzonia), but did not notice that Sowerby's figure and description do not match that species. Since it is not possible to tell if the name is a misspelling or the validation of manuscript name, it is here treated as a available name and placed in the synonym of Stosicia aberrans.
