Note  Remark: Placed in family Spirorbidae in Vine , subfamily Spirorbinae in <198>. According to Fauchald, 1977<246> this genus is invalid and places it in Dexiospira Caullery and Mesnil 1897. Knight-Jones (1972 <303>) considers the genus to be an invalid synonym of Dexiospira, which she treats as a subgenus of Janua. [details]
