Prozonarina brocchii
Taxonomy
Cypraea brocchii was named by Deshayes (1844) [Cypraea Brocchii. MCSNM, No. i4647 (selected by Pinna & Spezia 1978 by inference of holotype, cf. ICZN Art. 74.6).]. Its type specimen is MCSNM, No. i4647, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Rio della Batteria, Val Salice, Calli Torinesi, which is in a Langhian coastal horizon in the Baldissero Formation of Italy. It is the type species of Prozonaria.
It was recombined as Prozonarina brocchi by Schilder (1941); it was recombined as Zonarina brocchii by Glibert (1963); it was recombined as Schilderia brocchii by Lozouet et al. (2001); it was recombined as Prozonarina brocchii by Dolin and Lozouet (2004) and Fehse (2007); it was recombined as Zonarina brochii by Zunino and Pavia (2009); it was recombined as Monetaria brocchii by Baluk (1995) and Popa et al. (2014).

Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
D. Fehse 2007 | Shell medium sized, elongate ovate, with a slightly indented anterior terminal and a curved, almost blunt posterior terminal. The terminals — especially the anterior one — are dorsally flattened (most easily visible in profile) and therefore clearly separate from the dorsal elevation. Spire involute, just above the bulge of the anal canal, usually obsolete and covered by thick terminal callus, marked by a spiral sulcus. Dorsum convex, with highest elevation at the mid-portion and with the apex on the right side, smooth, margins thickened with callus. Marginal callosities rounded. Ventrum weakly convex. Aperture straight, curved posteriorly, with parallel edges, relatively narrow, slightly wider along the fossula. Labrum thickened and slightly expanded in the medial portion, inner margin slopes into the aperture and is round edged, bearing 212 somewhat coarse, close-set, regular labral denticles, which extend anteriorly only as short folds onto the ventrum. Parietal lip weakly denticulate, with 15 developed denticles, rapidly weakening so that the denticles on the medial portion are only faintly visible, the denticles strengthening again slightly on the posterior third. Denticles are limited to the parietal lip. Terminal ridge marginal, bordering the siphonal canal, where it is slightly strengthened to form a narrow keel. Columellar teeth follow after a slight interstice. Fossula flattened, smooth, very steep, not clearly delimited from the rest of the columella, with a straight and smooth inner margin. Its anterior border is formed by a continuation of the terminal ridge. The terminal ridge projects here at the anterior corner of the fossula. The anterior margin of the fossula is free, not fused with the inside of the dorsum. |
