The problem with this "species" is that it was mislocalized. Weaver &
DuPont (1970: 103)placed it in the synonmy of Adelomelon ancilla (Lightfoot,
1786) with a note that "locality in error." They do not even mention it in
the discussion.
Prof. Rivers described (extremely poorly) one other species, a fossil
Bathytoma, but it had been named decades before by Gabb.
Rivers gave no depository for his "species."
