Athleta (Volutospina)
Taxonomy
Volutospina was named by Newton (1906) [Sepkoski's age data: K Turo R]. It is extant.
It was reranked as Athleta (Volutospina) by Vredenburg (1921), Vredenburg (1925), Nagao (1928), Pacaud and Le Renard (1995), Harzhauser et al. (2009), Merle and Pacaud (2014).
It was assigned to Volutidae by Woods (1922); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); and to Athleta by Vredenburg (1921), Vredenburg (1925), Nagao (1928), Pacaud and Le Renard (1995), Harzhauser et al. (2009), Merle and Pacaud (2014).
