Lunatia Pila
''Lunatia'' is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.Bouchet, P. (2012). Lunatia. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=150577 on 2012-07-12 The species in this genus have been brought in synonymy mostly with ''Euspira'' Torigoe & Inaba (2011) provided a rather arbitrary assignment of species to respectively ''Euspira'' and ''Lunatia'' and this has been at one time uploaded in the WoRMS classification. However this is not based on any in-depth phylogenetic analysis and has proved inconsistent when some closely related European species (e.g. Euspira guillemini, E. macilenta) were then not congeneric. Until a substantiated phylogenetic hypothesis is published for the group, ''Lunatia'' is here considered a junior subjective synonym of ''Euspira'' and all the species accepted under ''Euspira'', following in this Marincowich (1977), Kabat (1991) and t ...
