Nomenclature Nordsieck (1977: 45) and before him Sykes (1906) interpreted Pleurotoma turgida Reeve 1844 as a synonym of the preoccuppied P. nana Scacchi, 1836. However, van Aartsen (1988) considered P. turgida as a nomem dubium, despite the fact that Reeve’s name was based on the same Aegean material of Forbes (1844), and proposed a replacement name Bela menkhorsti [details]
