Polystira
Taxonomy
Polystira was named by Woodring (1928) [Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-l R]. It is extant. Its type is Turris albida.
It was reranked as Turris (Polystira) by Oinomikado (1939); it was reranked as Pleuroliria (Polystira) by Woodring (1970).
It was assigned to Turris by Oinomikado (1939); to Pleuroliria by Woodring (1970); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Turrinae by Woodring (1928), DuBar (1958), Olsson (1964), Addicott (1970), Petuch (1988) and Landau and Marques da Silva (2010); and to Turridae by Todd (2001) and Bouchet et al. (2011).
