Begins: "This application seeks suppression of two nominal genera based on species not now adequately interpretable. The first is Spiroglyphus Daudin, 1800 (p. 39). Two species were described under it, S. politus (p. 49) and S. annulatus (p. 50, figs 28-29). Daudin considered both to be tubicolous annelids corroding a channel on other shells. He figured only one. Both were said to come from the Indian Ocean, the figured form entrenched on a fissurellid gastropod (a keyhole limpet). He had not seen living animals.
