Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus)

Gastropoda - Heterostropha - Pyramidellidae

Taxonomy
Pyrgiscus was named by Philippi (1841) [Sepkoski's age data: T Than R Sepkoski's reference number: 794]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus) by Arnold (1903), Martin (1904), Aldrich (1911), Oldroyd (1925), Addicott (1970) and Hendy (2007).

It was assigned to Heterostrophia by Sepkoski (2002); to Turbonilla by Arnold (1903), Martin (1904), Aldrich (1911), Oldroyd (1925), Addicott (1970) and Hendy (2007); and to Pyramidellidae by Ward and Blackwelder (1987), Todd (2001) and Darragh (2017).
