discussion
Remarks Sacco (1897) reported this species from the Turin hills and as being 4 – 6 mm long and up to 1.5 mm high. This matches the size of the specimen from Ca’ Cavalmagra. However, as protoconch and shell microstructure of this species remain unknown, its assignment to the patellogastropod Tectura remains tentative.
