Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. A. Darragh 2011 | Petuch stated that a fossula was absent in by the descriptions and illustrations in Dolin and by my own observations of two of the species, Cypraeorbis arlettae and C. wilcoxi (see figs 3H–J, N, K, O). Revision of American taxa is beyond the scope of this paper, but I consider that Floradusta and Loxacypraea are synonyms of Cypraeaorbis, as the type species of each have a fossula similar to C.sphaeroides and C. ventripotens. |
