Nomenclature Iredale (1929) proposed the name Vanitrochus as a replacement name for Conotrochus Pilsbry, 1889, but he selected as type species Solariella tragema Melvill & Standen, 1896, a species not referable to the genus as defined by Cossmann's designation of Trochus mariei Fischer, 1886 as the type species of Conotrochus Pilsbry, 1889 (Cossmann, 1918).
