Alvania
Taxonomy
Alvania was named by Risso (1826) [Sepkoski's age data: K Maes-l R Sepkoski's reference number: 650]. It is extant. Its type is Alvania europea.
It was reranked as Rissoa (Alvania) by Strausz (1966).
It was assigned to Rissoa by Strausz (1966); to Rissoinae by Marquet (1997); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Rissoidae by Weisbord (1962), Ladd (1966), Ponder and Lindberg (1997), Lozouet (1998), Todd (2001), Wienrich (2001), Harzhauser (2002) and Vera-Peláez et al. (2004).
