Cyclotopsis BLANFORD 1864

Description

Genus Cyclotopsis BLANFORD, 1864

Having been used as a dumping ground for several Indopacific pomatiid species, the range of this genus has recently been restricted to a few species living in India today (Neubert 2009). This is the first fossil species recorded for this genus, which thus has a time range from Oligocene to Modern.
