Solariella (afterwards Margarita 1) maculata of S. V. Wood, and 

 Solarium calandrelli of Conti. I do not consider Turbo monili/erus

 from the "sables noirs" of Antwerp, the same as the present species. 

 The shape and sculpture are very different As recent it^ is my 

 Trochus amabilis ; the variety ajinis is Mackceroplax hidalgoi of 

 Fischer. T. affinis of D'Eichwald is a very different species.
