| Summary: | Olivella cf. longispira Bellardi, 1882 Fig. 7E–F Olivella longispira Bellardi, 1882: 221, pl. 12 fig. 37. Olivella longispira – Ferrero Mortara et al. 1981: 133, pl. 35 fig. 3a–b. Material examined ITALY – Emilia-Romagna • 1 spec.; Guzzano; MGGC 22311 (H = 11.8 mm). – Tuscany • 1 spec.; Le Colline; MSF 1202 (H = 13.4 mm). Remarks Although the base of the aperture is not preserved in either of the two available specimens, they are here assigned to Olivella longispira due to their slender shells with a tall spire. This species was originally described from the Middle Miocene of the Turin hills, where it reaches 20 mm in height (Bellardi 1882). Stratigraphic and geographic range Lower to Middle Miocene, northern Italy.
