Turcica
''Turcica'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eucyclidae. Kano et al. (2009) have argued that ''Turcica'' belongs in the family Calliotropidae. Description The thin, subdiaphanous, imperforate shell has a conoidal shape. The whorls display transverse series of granules, the last rounded on the periphery. The thick columella is spirally twisted posteriorly, ending anteriorly in an obtuse, prominent point. The thin outer lip is simple and acute. Distribution The genus ranges on both shores of the Pacific, from California and Australia northward. Species According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) the following species are included within the genus ''Turcica'' : * '' Turcica admirabilis'' Berry, 1969 * '' Turcica caffea'' (Gabb, 1865) * '' Turcica imperialis'' A. Adams, 1854 * '' Turcica monilifera'' A. Adams, 1854 ;Species brought into synonymy: * ''Turcica (Perrinia)'' Adams, 1854: synonym of '' Perrinia'' H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 ...

Perrinia
''Perrinia'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chilodontaidae. This genus has a long time been regarded as a subgenus of ''Turcica'' H. & A. Adams, 1854. Previously it was considered a (problematic) subgenus of ''Euchelus'' Philippi, 1847. Description The imperforate shell is small (less than 20 mm) and has a trochiform shape. The whorls are flattened and cancellated with a strongly indented suture. The aperture is quadrangular. The outer lip is lirate (= with fine linear elevations) within. The columella is short, nearly straight, with several tubercles near the base. Species According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) the following species are included within the genus ''Perrinia'' : * '' Perrinia angulifera'' A.
