It is spinosa

I have a listing of errors - misidentifications or superseded names - for
Muricidae in various books that I am happy to share with anyone. The lists
are a little complex because I use codes. And the source of the correction
is not always listed. And I make mistakes --  but otherwise everything is
fine...
