We highlight that juveniles of J. tingitanus and J. gravinae show very similar outlines, in turn very different from, e.g., Steromphala racketti (Payraudeau, 1826), suggesting that J. tingitanus with its peculiar adult morphology, may represent a case of pedomorphosis (Fig. 9A–F).Monterosato (1890: 144) reported a single very small specimen from Sicily, off the coast of Palermo, identified by Jeffreys as Gibbula ditropis. Despite an accurate search at MCZR in the Monterosato collection, this specimen could not be found, and we keep this record as doubtful. Trochus ditropis S. Wood, 1848, is a very similar, but distinct fossil species from the Pliocene (Coralline and Red Crag) of England (see also Verduin 1979).

We have examined samples morphologically very similar to the Tunisian material, from the Aegean and Ionian seas (see also Scuderi & Terlizzi 2012: 39, pl. 3 fig. 6, from Apulian Ionian Sea, as ‘ J. fraterculus ’), but these need to be tested genetically.The morphotype delpreteanus occurs in the coastal lakes of Pantano Piccolo and Ganzirri (Messina, Sicily) (Sulliotti 1889; Curini-Galletti & Palazzi 1979, as Trochus pumilio Philippi, 1844; Giacobbe 2012; Scuderi et al. 2019), at depths of 0.5– 2 m. Specimens in the lot MCZR-M-11727, from “Toulon”, France (possibly the Hyères salines, including the Étang de Pesquiers) are morphologically strikingly similar to the Sicilian delpreteanus morphotype.RemarksWe have tested Sicilian samples from a coastal lake environment, corresponding to the nominal taxon J. delpreteanus characterised by an impoverished sculpture, with denser but weaker spiral cords and a dark blackish-brown monochrome colouration. Given the relatively low genetic divergence between the Tunisian open sea form corresponding to Trochus smaragdinus, and the Sicilian coastal lake samples corresponding to J. delpreteanus (<3%), and despite the striking morphological differences, we conservatively consider them as belonging to a single species. Trochus pumilio has been considered either as a synonym of Gibbula adriatica (Philippi, 1844) by Ghisotti & Melone (1975) or as a subspecies of Jujubinus striatus (J. striatus pumilio) by Curini-Galletti & Palazzi (1979), identical with J. delpreteanus; we agree with the latter identification. However, Trochus pumilio is a junior homonym of Trochus pumilio Dillwyn, 1817, currently accepted as Obeles pumilio (Dillwyn, 1817) (Pulmonata, Geomitridae).The open sea form of J. smaragdinus differs from J. striatus in its typical greenish-yelowish-whitish colour pattern, the smaller size, the more evident prosocline lamellae in the interspaces. It differs from J. exasperatus, J. pseudogravinae, J. vulgaris, J. gravinae, and J. dianiensis sp. nov. in its less marked sculpture in all teleoconch whorls; from J. depictus, J. sartorii, J. ruscurianus in the weaker and more regular sculpture with barely evident prosocline lamellae; from J. elenchoides in its smaller size and the fewer spiral cords; from J. superum sp. nov. in the different colouration (dark greyish-blackish in J. superum, greenish with whitish spots in J. smaragdinus). Colouration is also diagnostic with J. kyrnos sp. nov., J. fraterculus, J. gofasi sp. nov., and J. vexationis (Madeira).See under J. delpreteanus, J. inopinatus sp. nov., J. angustibasis sp. nov., and J. dispar for comparative remarks.

Cephalic tentacles translucent, with two dorsal brown stripes and covered by small whitish and brownish speckles. Eye stalks brownish dorsally, creamy ventrally; eyes black. Snout dark brown, a creamy terminal band with a thin dark terminal stripe.DistributionAtlantic, from Great Britain to Spain, and across the entire Mediterranean Sea; living specimens at depths of 2– 10 m.RemarksThe binomen Jujubinus striatus has been widely used in the past for specimens belonging to a number of species (several cryptic), not all of them phylogenetically related. We restrict here the concept of Trochus striatus to the broad-based specimens in the series of Linnean original syntypes because the narrow-base forms are a complex of different species, as evidenced by the present work. We note that a single shell of the Linnean type series is a specimen of J. angustibasis sp. nov. Therefore, we have selected one of the broad-based specimens as lectotype of Trochus striatus, to stabilize the use of the name. Jujubinus striatus differs from J. vexationis, J. swinneni sp. nov., J. elenchoides, J. superum sp. nov., J. gofasi sp. nov., J. kyrnos sp. nov., J. dianiensis sp. nov., and J. fraterculus in its broad base and the less slender outlline; from J. depictus, J. ruscurianus, and J. sartorii in the more regular and less marked sculpture; from J. gravinae in its larger size and the peripheral cord not crenulated.

Colour of protoconch and initial teleoconch whorls glossy pinkish with whitish blotches, with spiral cords articulated in black and white.SOFT PARTS. Not known.DistributionSpecies currently known only from the type locality, San Vito Lo Capo, Sicily, and Gulf of Naples, Italy: the holotype has been collected at unprecised depth, but in very shallow waters.RemarksJujubinus inopinatus sp. nov. is currently known from only two specimens. It is very similar to J. angustibasis sp. nov., but the molecular analysis (on the holotype) warrants very confidently the separation. The paratype was found in the Monterosato collection (MCZR-M-11760) and it is almost identical in shape and colouration to the holotype; it is possible that other specimens exist in public or private collections, misidentified as ‘ J. striatus ’ (with reference to J. angustibasis). It differs from J. exasperatus and J. pseudogravinae in the lack of tubercles on the spiral cords; from J. gravinae, J. dianiensis sp. nov. and J. vexationis in the absence of tubercles or undulations on the peripheral cord; from J. striatus in its more slender outline and in the more spaced spiral cords and finer basal cords; from J. elenchoides in its smaller size and the fewer spiral cords; from J. superum sp. nov. and J. kyrnos sp. nov., in its larger size and the reddish colour (absent in the other two species); from J. depictus, J. sartorii, J. fraterculus, J. gofasi sp. nov. and J. smaragdinus in its weaker sculpture with finer prosocline lamellae in the interspaces; from J. ruscurianus in the more slender outline and the fewer, more spaced and less marked spiral cords; from J. vulgaris in the more numerous spiral cords (5 vs normally 3 in J. vulgaris) with narrower interspaces.

Sculpture of 5–6 spaced abapical spiral cords, smooth, of about the same strength, including the 2–3 peripheral ones forming the peripheral cord, and 7–8 regularly spaced, basal spiral flat cords. Suture incised. Teleoconch surface covered by thick, yet barely visible prosocline growth lamellae, irregular set. Base convex and rounded, umbilicus closed also in juveniles, covered with a white callus. Aperture quadrangular, with the columellar callus thickened in the lower portion. Interior of the aperture greenish whitish, nacreous.COLOURATION.

Sutural and peripheral cord articulated in red and cream or white.SOFT PARTS. Observed in alcohol preserved specimens, no dark terminal strip is present on the creamy band of the snout.DistributionWestern Mediterranean, Alboran Sea until Almería, southern Spain and Algeria (Weinkauff 1867; Curini- Galleti & Palazzi 1980; Curini-Galletti 1982b; Sánchez-Moyano et al. 2000); living specimens at depths of 1– 20 m. In the neighbouring Atlantic from the Berlenga Islands and South Portugal to Morocco. Canary Islands (Pallary 1920; Cretella 1993; Gofas et al. 2011; Alf et al. 2020) probably referring to the morphotype described as J. guanchus.RemarksThis is a morphologically very characteristic and common species in the western Mediterranean and neighbouring Atlantic. Morphologically, it can be diagnosed from J. exasperatus, J. pseudogravinae, J. gravinae, J. errinae and J. vexationis by the lack of tubercles or undulations on sutural cords and basal cords and for the strong spiral cords regularly spaced by deep interspaces. It differs from J. striatus, J. depictus, J. fraterculus, J. superum sp. nov., J. inopinatus sp. nov., J. kyrnos sp. nov., J. sartorii, J. smaragdinus, J. angustibasis sp. nov., J. gofasi sp. nov., and J. superum in the less marked sculpture with apparently smooth interspaces due to the very weak prosocline growth lines. The specimens in the Monterosato collection, with the label autograph by Weinkauff, are likely syntypes, and were the only available source to confirm the actual identity of this taxon (the original Weinkauff collection having largely been dispersed: Curini-Galletti & Palazzi 1980). Curini-Galletti (1985) described J. guanchus from the Canary Islands, based on a particular morphotype with ca six teleoconch whorls separated by incised sutures, and a sculpture of four smooth spiral cords crossed by numerous very fine markedly prosocline growth lines; the background colour is shiny olive-green, with white blotches arranged in irregular longitudinal band across the whorls and the peripheral cord, the basal ridges with regularly white dotted. We have assayed three specimens from Lanzarote, morphologically corresponding to typical J. guanchus, which proved to be genetically indistinguishable from Western Mediterranean typical J. ruscurianus. Jujubinus poppei, has been described on syntopic samples from Lanzarote, differing from J. guanchus in the different number of spiral cords (6–7 in J. poppei vs 4 in J. guanchus).See under J. gravinae, and J. superum sp. nov. for detailed comparative remarks.

Shell of medium size for the genus, height 6.4–8.8 (5.8) mm, width 4.9–6.8 (5.8) mm, height/ width 1.21–1.38 conical, solid, slightly cyrtoconoid, rather shiny. Protoconch seemingly smooth, of ca 15 whorl, 0.25–0.26 (0.25) mm in width. Teleoconch of 6.5 (5.5) slightly convex whorls. Sculpture of 5–6 (6) strong, closely set abapical spiral cords of about the same strength, including the 2–3 (3) peripheral ones forming the strong peripheral cord, and 6–7 (7) regularly spaced, basal weaker spiral cords and flat. Interspaces with thick and strong regularly set prosocline lamellae. Suture well incised. Teleoconch surface covered by barely visible prosocline growth striae, rather regular. Base convex, umbilicus closed also in juveniles, covered with a white callus. Aperture quadrangular, with columellar callus thickened in the middle portion. Interior of the aperture whitish/greyish, nacreous.COLOURATION. Colour of protoconch and initial teleoconch whorls whitish or greyish; remaining whorls and base cream or blackish background with alternating large blackish/whitish blotches.SOFT PARTS. Observed in alcohol preserved specimens, dark terminal strip on the creamy band of the snout.DistributionRanging from the Mediterranean of southern Spain to the Atlantic, southward along the coasts of Morocco and northward to Brittany (France), and Jersey Is. (UK), living specimens from the intertidal to 5 m deep.RemarksIn some specimens the background colour is blackish with alternating large whitish blotches.It differs from J. exasperatus, J. pseudogravinae and J. gravinae in the lack of tubercles on the spiral cords; from J. vulgaris in the more numerous spiral cords (5–6 in J. gofasi sp. nov. vs 3 in J. vulgaris) and the colouration (cream or blackish with alternating large blackish-whitish blotches in J. gofasi vs white or whitish background with reddish brown in J. vulgaris); from J. vexationis (Madeira) in its larger size and the different sculpture (7–8 weak spiral cords, with slight undulations of the peripheral cord in the first 2–3 teleoconch whorls, broad interspaces with fine prosocline lines in J. vexationis vs 6 strong spiral cords and narrow adorned with strong prosocline lamellae in J. gofasi).From J. swinneni sp. nov. (Canary Islands) it differs in its stronger sculpture (with the prosocline lamellae crossing the spiral cords, whereas fine growth lines and lamellae are present mostly in the interspaces in J. swinneni).It differs from J. depictus in the more numerous spiral cords (3–4 in J. depictus vs 5–6 in J. gofasi sp. nov.) and weaker sculpture; from J. sartorii in the spiral cords with narrower interspaces and with more marked axial lamellae; from J. kyrnos sp. nov. in its large size, the colouration (cream or whitish background, with blackish and greyish flammules in J. kyrnos vs darker background with alternating large blackish blotches in J. gofasi), and the more numerous spiral cords (3 in J. kyrnos vs 5–6 in J. gofasi); from J. ruscurianus in its stronger sculpture with narrower interspaces with more marked lamellae; from J. elenchoides in its smaller size, and the fewer cords (12–16 spiral cords in J. elenchoides vs 5–6 in J. gofasi); from J. fraterculus in its weaker sculpture with less marked prosocline lamellae in the interspaces; from J. superum sp. nov. in its colouration (dark greyish-blackish background in J. superum vs cream or blackish background with alternating large blackish blotches in J. gofasi) the larger size and the more marked sculpture with (vs very fine lamellae in the interspaces of J. superum).Jujubinus dispar Curini-Galletti 1982
