Just a nomenclatural question:

There is Amaea (Fragiliscala) tosaensis Azuma, 1962 and there is Amaea
(Clathroscala) tosaensis Habe & Masuda, 1990. Are they different species or
just synonyms?

The thing is really a bit more complicated, since there is also Amaea
(Clathroscala) tosaensis Kuroda MS sensu Azuma, 1960, but this seems to be a
nomen nudum, fortunately... Maybe the book from Nakayama ("A review of
Northwest Pacific Epitoniids") has a clue, but I couldn't get it still.

Thanks in advance for anybody who could help.
