Dear Helmut
    Thank you, surely I will write to Pall Einarsson asking for preserved Amauropsis.
    I am performing a phylogeny of the Caenogastropoda superfamilies and Amauropsis (analyzed separated)
resulted outside of the Naticoidea, separated from them by other branches. Most probably a new designation of
a proper taxa will be necessary.
 Luiz
