Sars 1865, and Brøgger 1872, but not recorded by Jeffreys 1870), while Warén (1991) only records two specimens (Bergen) and one shell (Raunefjorden) as Norwegian material. In my material two specimens and three shells from Skagerrak, two specimens and an additional 18 shells (or fragments) of which two specimens and 16 shells from between 65°30’N and 67°05’N. Except for the two specimens, beautifully preserved, from outer Vefsnfjorden (65°53’N, 12°32’E, 12-15 m, <i>Desmarestia</i> and <i>Lithothamnion</i> and other red algae) the shells are often worn, with much of the spiral sculpture hard to see. As shells are easily confused with <i>C. interstincta</i>, the identifications of the 10 samples included can not all be trusted. The material from Vefsnfjorden and two shells from Sjonafjorden, just south of Sila (66°17’N, 160- 80 m, gravel) are perhaps the most reliable. The material from Sjonafjorden is also the northernmost record of this species so far. Outside Norway it is reported as common in the Koster area in the Swedish part of Skagerrak (Warén 1991).

According to Forbes & Hanley (1853:255) ‘The identity of this shell with the <i>T. indistinctus</i> of Montagu is rather traditional than positive, since the language of the “Testacea Britannica” does not precisely correspond with the characteristics of the present species.’ However the interpretation of the species has been stable, at least since the time of Jeffreys (1867). Empty shells might be mistaken for <i>P. interstincta</i>, but is most easily distinguished by the lack of a columellar tooth.</p> |
