Original diagnosis. “ C. ( Anellum ) t. parva, curta, solida, annulis quadratis xii. –xx. cincta; interstitiis profundis, quadratis; apertura subcontracta, annulis concurrentibus; septo mucronato, margine laterali concavo, mucrone parvo, extante, angusta, subdextrorsum sita: operculo valde concavo, anfr. circiter x. linea spirali expressa.” Carpenter (1857: 322). Description. Protoconch multispiral (about 2.0 whorls), planispiral, smooth (Fig. 40A), transition to teleoconch I marked by well-defined apertural varix (Fig. 40A). Teleoconch I short, with bands of reticular sculpture (Fig. 40B), transition to teleoconch II marked by change in sculpture (Figs. 40A, D). Teleoconch II about same length as teleoconch I, with irregular longitudinal sculpture, crossed by low axial annuli (Fig. 40C), transition to teleoconch III marked by change in sculpture (Fig. 40D). Teleoconch III sculptured with axial annuli, with short longitudinal striae between (Fig. 40E), transition to teleoconch IV marked by incised line immediately followed by change in sculpture (Figs. 40D, G). Teleoconch IV sculptured with axial annuli, crossed by short longitudinal striae; transition to teleoconch V marked by suture, immediately followed by change in sculpture (Fig. 40G). Teleoconch V (last growth stage) average size for genus [Tol 2.12–2.35 mm], tubular, rather thick, stout, moderately and regularly arched [Larc: 0.61–0.70 mm; Arc: 0.20–0.24 mm], subcylindrical with slight increase in diameter from posterior to aperture, cream to light tan (Fig. 39A). Axial sculpture of 16–24 angulate or squarish distally spaced axial ribs; (Fig. 40I), except last 3–4 preceding aperture, which are more close-set (Fig. 40I). Axial interspaces rather deep, as wide as ribs, except last 3–4 preceding aperture, which become narrower (Fig. 40I). Surface sculptured with longitudinal striae and axial ribs (Figs. 40 H–I). Striae more pronounced in interspaces (Fig. 40H). Posterior [Dpe: 0.41–0.48 mm] with thick edge, squared shoulder (Fig. 40I). Septum mucronate, somewhat recessed. Mucro with low rounded point, positioned along dorsal margin (Fig. 39B). Aperture [Da: 0.59–0.69 mm]with weak to moderate sulcus prior to 3–4 close-set axial ribs, last 1–2 sharply reduced in width on ventral side (Fig. 39I). Lip smooth, with deflected peristome (Fig. 39B). Periostracum thin, light tan. Operculum thin, light brown; exterior surface with 7–9 concentric rings (Figs. 39 C–D). Conceptual reconstruction of growth stages shown in Fig. 41A. Distribution and Habitat. From Farallon Islands, California to Colima, Mexico, including the Gulf of California. Intertidal, down to 72 m. Abundant subtidally on coarse sand and gravel substrates. Remarks. The type material of Caecum quadratum (NHMUK 1857.6.4.1529) is comprised of four adults and three subadults. The most similar congener is C. firmatum , and the two can be confused, especially when specimens are worn. As previously stated, both species are quite variable. A comparison of the type material from both Caecum quadratum (Fig. 39E) and C. compactum (NHMUK 1857.6.4.1530, Fig. 39F) has proven them to be conspecifics. Lightfoot (1993a) considered C. dalli Bartsch, 1920 (Fig. 39G) and C. richthofeni Strong & Hertlein, 1939 to be synonyms of C. quadratum , although she did have some reservations about C. richthofeni . After comparing the type material of each, Lightfoot’s position on C. dalli has been confirmed. However, C. richthofeni is actually a junior synonym of another species, which is discussed later. : Published as part of Raines, Bret K., 2020, A Rosetta Stone for eastern Pacific Caecidae (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda), pp. 1-146 in Zootaxa 4827 (1) on pages 57-61, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4827.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4402308 : {"references": ["Carpenter, P.
