Crassispira

Gastropoda - Neogastropoda - Pseudomelatomidae

Taxonomy
Crassispira was named by Swainson (1840) [Sepkoski's age data: T Eo-l R Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. It is extant. Its type is Pleurotoma bottae.

It was reranked as Drillia (Crassispira) by Vredenburg (1921), Mukerjee (1939), Dey (1961); it was reranked as Clavus (Crassispira) by Grant, IV and Gale (1931), Berry (1940), Durham (1944).

It was assigned to Turrinae by Woodring (1928); to Clavus by Grant, IV and Gale (1931), Berry (1940), Durham (1944); to Drillia by Vredenburg (1921), Mukerjee (1939), Dey (1961); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Turridae by Gardner (1948), Kensley (1972), Ladd (1982), Todd (2001), Baluk (2003); to Clavinae by MacNeil (1960), Woodring (1970), Addicott (1970), Landau and Marques da Silva (2010); to Crassispirinae by Wilson (1994), Harzhauser (2007), Fallon (2011); and to Pseudomelatomidae by Bouchet et al. (2011).
