Turritella (Bactrospira)

Gastropoda - Turritellidae

Taxonomy
Bactrospira was named by Cossmann (1912) [Sepkoski's age data: T Plio]. Its type is Turritella perattenuata.

It was reranked as Torcula (Bactrospira) by Allmon (1996); it was reranked as Turritella (Bactrospira) by Jung (1971), Perrilliat (1987), Landau et al. (2008) and Landau and Marques da Silva (2010).

It was assigned to Torcula by Allmon (1996); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Turritella by Jung (1971), Perrilliat (1987), Landau et al. (2008) and Landau and Marques da Silva (2010).
