Abstract

SEM examination of the type series of Acathostrophia acanthica CONTI & FISCHER, 1984 from Middle Jurassic of Italy has shown that this gastropod most likely belongs to the family Protorculidae as previously suggested by NÜTZEL (1998). It is also similar to some Jurassic species of Polygyrinidae, which might also be related to Protorculidae. The supposition of KAIM et al. (2008) that Acanthostrophia is an early member of Abyssochrysidae could not be confirmed.
