Nomenclature
Høisæter (2014) advocated using the well-known specific name spiralis (Montagu, 1803) for this species, although Turbo spiralis Montagu, 1803 is a primary homonym of Turbo spiralis Poiret, 1801. The latter name could meet the conditions for being declared nomen oblitum but so far Høisæter (2014) did not provide the citations required by ICZN Art. 23.9 to make the declaration effective.
