Genus Glypteuthria Strebel, 1905 Type species. Euthria meridionalis E.A. Smith, 1881 by subsequent designation of Tomlin, 1932. This genus was also cited by Harasewych & Kantor (2004) from South Africa with three species included, G. capensis Thiele, 1925, G. solidissima Tomlin, 1932, and G. sculpturata Tomlin, 1945 (new name for G. capensis Tomlin, 1932 non Thiele, 1925). The holotype of Glypteuthria (?) capensis Thiele, 1925 is housed at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (ZMB 101552) and illustrated by Weaver & DuPont (1970: 183, pl. 78C, D). The morphology of the shell is similar to G. meridionalis , however no soft parts are known and the protoconch appears to be smooth (according to these authors) instead of showing the typical spiral pattern of this species. Weaver & DuPont (1970) included G. capensis Thiele in Fusivoluta and mentioned the confusion of Barnard (1957: 210) and later Rehder (1969: 205), who stated that G. capensis Thiele and G. sculpturata Tomlin are synonyms and they belong in Fusivoluta . In 1970, Rehder after studying a photograph of Thiele’s types, reported both species as different but again as belonging in Fusivoluta . This is true only for G. sculpturata . Kilburn et al. (2010) cited G. c a p e n s i s Thiele as part of the South African living fauna. Until the radula of this species is studied, its inclusion in Glypteuthria should be with caution. The remaining name G. solidissima with a shell with inner apertural denticles does not belong in Glypteuthria . This species was regarded as a junior synonym of Afrocominella capensis simoniana (Petit de la Saussaye, 1852) by Kilburn et al. (2010). : Published as part of Pastorino, Guido, 2016, Revision of the genera Pareuthria Strebel, 1905, Glypteuthria Strebel, 1905 and Meteuthria Thiele, 1912 (Gastropoda: Buccinulidae) with the description of three new genera and two new species from Southwestern Atlantic waters, pp. 301-344 in Zootaxa 4179 (3) on pages 312-313, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4179.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/256431 : {"references": ["Strebel, H.
