Genus Meteuthria Thiele, 1912 Type species. Euthria martensi Strebel, 1905 by original designation. Several species were included by different authors in the genus Meteuthria . Dell (1990) included “ Anomacme ” multituberculata Castellanos et al. , 1987 in Meteuthria because of some similarity of the radula of his new subspecies of Meteuthria (i.e. M. multituberculata rossiana ). The radula of “ A.” multituberculata is illustrated here (Figs 10 H–I) and it is very different from the types of both genera: Meteuthria (i.e. M. martensi ) and Anomacme (i.e. A. smithi , Figs 10B, C). The distinctive protoconch and the presence of a very small rachidian (not illustrated by Dell 1990: 169 fig. 296) indicate that neither “ Anomacme ” multituberculata nor the subspecies M. multituberculata rossiana are referable to either Meteuthria or Anomacme. Only two species ( M. martensi and M. batialis n. sp.) are here considered as belonging to Meteuthria . : 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 page 317, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4179.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/256431 : {"references": ["Thiele, J.
