Editor's comment Type material no longer extant and never illustrated. According to Cotton (1956) it is a synonym of Cominella lineolata. A neotype is required to establish its status. Not to be confused with Josepha tasmanica Tenison Woods, 1879, which is almost certainly not conspecific [details]
