Taxonomy Quotation from Turgeon et al (2009): "Waller (1991) considered Amusium papyraceum a true Amusium restricted to the Miocene of the Dominican Republic. He said that two different Recent species of Euvola have been misidentified as A. papyraceum. The one from the Gulf of Mexico he called Euvola species A (we have termed it E. cf. papyracea); the one from the southern Caribbean he called E. marensis Weisbord, 1964." [details]
