Editor's comment No further records or usages have been found. Vine, Bailey-Brock & Straughan (1972: 162) stated: "It is possible that Spirorbis (Pileolaria) polyoperculata Straughan (1969) from Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands is the same as P. (D. ) koehleri [now Vinearia koehleri]". It seems reasonable to accept this suggestion for now (2019) after 37 years with no further records. [details]From other sources
