ABSTRACT
The systematics of several Eastern Atlantic conoidean species, traditionally ascribed to the genus Raphitoma
Bellardi, 1847, are revised on the basis of DNA sequence data from three gene regions (cytochrome c
oxidase subunit I, 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA). We assign genus ranking to three major lineages (Raphitoma,
Cyrillia Kobelt, 1905 and Leufroyia Monterosato, 1884) and suggest that two West African species belong
in the subgenus Daphnella (Paradaphne) Laseron, 1954. A new classification, based on molecular systematics
and critical study of morphology, is provided for all Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean species that are
currently ascribed to Raphitoma s.l. The genus Clathromangelia Monterosato, 1884 is confirmed as belonging
to Raphitomidae. Phylogenetic relationships and genetic distances suggest that Raphitoma maculosa Høisæter,
2016 and R. obesa Høisæter, 2016 may be divergent morphotypes of R. bicolor (Risso, 1826) and Cyrillia
aequalis (Jeffreys, 1867), respectively.
INTRODUCTION
The Raphitomidae are probably the most diverse family of
Conoidea, in terms of species richness, ecological range and
anatomy (Kantor & Taylor, 2002; Bouchet et al., 2011). The name
Raphitomidae Bellardi, 1875 is based on the genus Raphitoma
Bellardi, 1847. At the time of its introduction, this genus comprised
34 fossil and Recent species (Bellardi, 1847: 85) that had previously
been classified in various genera, such as Pleurotoma and Clathurella.
The genus Raphitoma has been particularly well studied in the
northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, where a recent estimate
(Giannuzzi-Savelli et al., 2018) suggested that over 50 extant species
occur. These snails, which are usually active at night, live mostly
in marine soft-bottom environments at depths ranging from
0–100 m (Raphitoma pseudohystrix has been collected at 700 m).
While they inhabit a wide variety of habitats ranging from coastal
bioclastic coarse sands to muddy bioclastic coarse sands, they also
occur in sandy pockets between rocks and in seagrass meadows,
with individuals hiding buried under sand or concealed under
stones and in crevices during the day. The limits of the genus
are still under debate and Raphitoma s.l., as currently conceived,
comprises species with the following shell characters: turreted
to biconic-pupoidal shape; small to medium size (5–25 mm)
in relation to the family Raphitomidae as whole; protoconch
consisting of 3–4.5 whorls when multispiral, with the typical
raphitomid diagonally cancellate sculpture; and the last whorl
frequently keeled (Giannuzzi-Savelli et al., 2018; Manousis et al.,
2018; Fig. 1). While available data on the morphology of the soft
parts are scarce, they nonetheless suggest that there is substantial
variation in the anatomy of the foregut. Some species, such as
R. villaria and R. linearis, have neither a radula nor a venom
gland. Others, such as R. purpurea and R. leufroyi, do have a
radula, a venom gland or both (Sheridan et al., 1973: 177;
Pusateri & Giannuzzi-Savelli, 2008: 124). The arrangement of
the foregut has been described for R. purpurea (Sheridan et al.,
1973: 177; Miller, 1989: 173), but there is a different arrangement
in R. linearis and R. leufroyi, where a rhynchodeal introvert or
pseudoproboscis is present (Taylor et al., 1993: 128; Sheridan
et al., 1973: 178). The systematic implications of this variability
are still unknown, and the problem is further complicated by the
lack of a comprehensive phylogenetic framework for the family
Raphitomidae.
The type species of Raphitoma is R. histrix Bellardi, 1847 [ex
Pleurotoma hystrix Cristofori & Jan, 1832, nomen nudum] by subsequent designation (Monterosato, 1872: 54). Raphitoma histrix as
almost always conceived is a fossil species (Miocene–Pleistocene)
and has a complex nomenclatural history that has been summarized by Giannuzzi-Savelli et al. (2018: 9; see also Dall, 1918: 316;

An assessment of Raphitoma and allied genera (Neogastropoda: Raphitomidae)
G. Fassio et al.
2017), using the Q-INS-I algorithm. Ambiguous regions in the 16S
rRNA and 12S rRNA alignments were discarded using Gblocks v.
0.91b (Castresana, 2000) with respectively 76% and 64% of the
original positions being retained; we used default options.
In our phylogenetic analyses we used the three single-gene
datasets as well as a combined dataset (COI + 12S rRNA + 16S
rRNA). The Bayesian information criterion implemented in
jModelTest v. 2.1.7 (Posada, 2008) was used to identify the best
substitution models and parameters for each gene partition; the
substitution model selected for all datasets was GTR + I + G. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using maximum likelihood (ML)
and Bayesian approaches; all analyses were run on the CIPRES
Science Gateway (Miller, Pfeiffer & Schwartz, 2010). ML analyses
were done using RAxML v. 8 (Stamatakis, 2014). Branch support
estimates were based on 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Bayesian
analyses were performed using MrBayes v. 3.2.3 (Huelsenbeck
& Ronquist, 2001); analyses were run for 10,000,000 generations,
with trees sampled every 1,000 generations and 25% burn-in (for all
other parameters we used default settings). Convergence of MCMC
was assumed to have occurred when the effective sample size was
>200 and the potential scale reduction factor was approximately
1, as calculated with Tracer v. 1.7 (Rambaut et al., 2018) Branches
with bootstrap values (BS) ≥70% and posterior probabilities (PP)
≥0.95 were considered to be strongly supported.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The dataset is composed of 62 specimens representing 14
raphitomid genera from the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea and
Indo-Pacific region. DNA sequence data were generated by us for
28 of these specimens; sequence data for the remaining individuals
were obtained from GenBank (Table 1). The specimens sampled
included 17 species ascribed to the genus Raphitoma s.l.: Raphitoma
aequalis, R. bicolor, R. concinna, R. cordieri, R. corimbensis, R. densa, R.
horrida, R. laviae, R. leufroyi, R. linearis, R. maculosa, R. obesa, R. philberti,
R. pseudohystrix, R. purpurea, R. rubroapicata and an unidentified
Raphitoma sp. The dataset also included 13 other raphitomid or
putative raphitomid genera: Clathromangelia Monterosato, 1884;
Hemilienardia Boettger, 1895; Eucyclotoma Boettger, 1895; Rimosodaphnella Cossmann, 1916; Veprecula Melvill, 1917; Pleurotomella
Verrill, 1872; Phymorhynchus Dall, 1908; Pseudodaphnella Boettger,
1895; Spergo Dall, 1895; Taranis Jeffreys, 1870; Thatcheria Angas,
1877; Daphnella Hinds, 1844; and Teretiopsis Kantor & Sysoev, 1989.
Specimens from two other conoidean families were also included.
These groups are the Clathurellidae (the putative sister group of
the raphitomids) and the Mangeliidae (considered to be sister
to the clade comprising the Raphitomidae and Clathurellidae)
(Abdelkrim et al., 2018). The outgroup comprised three species of
Conidae
DNA was isolated from a piece of foot tissue following a
standard proteinase K/phenol–chloroform extraction protocol
(Oliverio & Mariottini, 2001). Three mitochondrial gene fragments
were amplified: the 658-bp barcode region of cytochrome c
oxidase subunit I (COI), with universal primers LCO1490 and
HC02198 (Folmer et al., 1994); an approximately 500-bp region
of the 16S rRNA gene, with primers 16SA (Palumbi, 1996)
and CGLeuR (Hayashi, 2003) or 16SH (Espiritu et al., 2001);
and an approximately 600-bp region of the 12S rRNA, with
primers 12SI and 12SIII (Oliverio & Mariottini, 2001). The
following PCR conditions were used: initial denaturation (94 ◦ C
for 4 min), 35 cycles of denaturation (94 ◦ C for 30 s), annealing
(48–51 ◦ C for COI, 52 ◦ C for 16S rRNA and 58–60 ◦ C for
12S rRNA for 40 s) and extension (94 ◦ C for 60s) and final
extension (72 ◦ C for 10 min). Amplicons were purified using
Exosap-IT (USB Corporation) and sequenced by Macrogen Inc.
(The Netherlands).
COI sequences were aligned using Geneious v. 11 (Kearse et al.,
2012). Sequences for 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA were aligned with
the online version of MAFFT v. 7 (Kuraku et al., 2013; Katoh et al.,
RESULTS
The final datasets consisted of 62 COI sequences, 47 16S rRNA
sequences and 34 12S rRNA sequences. Single-gene and combined
analyses yielded topologically similar trees. The trees obtained from
the concatenated dataset tended to show higher branch support
values and this was especially so in the case of the Bayesian analysis
(Fig. 2; Supplementary Material Figs S1–S7). The three families
Raphitomidae, Clathurellidae and Mangeliidae together formed
a strongly supported monophyletic group. Our Bayesian analyses
recovered the Clathurellidae as sister to the raphitomid clade, but
this relationship was not strongly supported (e.g. PP = 0.71 for
combined dataset, Fig. 2). We found consistently strong support for
the monophyly of the Raphitomidae.
Within the Raphitomidae, specimens of the genus Raphitoma s.l.
were distributed across five clades. Raphitoma leufroyi and R. concinna
were strongly supported as sister species (BS = 99%, PP = 1); these
two species together with R. rubroapicata and the genus Hemilienardia
formed a clade that was strongly supported in the ML analysis
(BS = 85%), but not in the Bayesian analysis (PP = 0.94). The
Bayesian analysis showed strong support for the clade comprising R.
corimbensis, Rimosodaphnella and Veprecula (PP = 0.95) and the clade
comprising the ‘Raphitoma’ sp. from the Philippines (MNHN-IM2007-17882) and Eucyclotoma cymatodes (PP = 0.99). Relationships
between these two clades and other raphitomids were unresolved.
The two species of Clathromangelia, which were strongly supported as
sister taxa (BS = 99%, PP = 1), formed a clade with Pseudodaphnella,
Eucyclotoma and a ‘Raphitoma’ sp. (MNHN-IM-2007-17882) in the
Bayesian analysis (PP = 1). This clade was nested within the
raphitomid clade.
Most of the specimens ascribed to Raphitoma s.l. formed a strongly
supported clade only in the Bayesian analyses of the 12S rRNA, 16S
rRNA and combined datasets (PP = 1 in Fig. 2; see also Supplementary Material Figs S1, S3, S5); this large clade was not strongly
supported in most of the remaining analyses (Supplementary Material Figs S2, S4, S6, S7). However, we consistently found strong
support for two sublineages within this clade. The first sublineage
comprised R. linearis, R. aequalis and R. obesa (BS = 100%, PP = 1).
The second sublineage consisted of R. pseudohystrix, R. bicolor, R.
cordieri, R. densa, R. horrida, R. laviae, R. maculosa, R. philberti and R.
purpurea (BS = 100%, PP = 1); in this sublineage, R. pseudohystrix

van Aartsen et al., 1984: 89–90; Rolán et al., 1998: 105). Raphitoma
pseudohystrix (Sykes, 1906) appears to be the closest extant relative of
R. histrix; while the teleoconch of the former is almost identical to
that of the latter, the protoconch in the extant species is paucispiral
whereas in R. histrix it is multispiral.
According to current taxonomy, at least eight nominal genera
are included in the synonymy of Raphitoma s.l. (see Systematic
Descriptions below). Høisæter (2016) argued that DNA sequencebased phylogenetic studies would most likely show that Raphitoma s.l.
consists of several genus-level taxa, for which available names could
be employed. By carrying out a molecular phylogenetic study of the
raphitomids, we seek to explore this issue. Our dataset consists of
representatives of at least 13 recognized genera of Raphitomidae
(18% of the approximately 70 genera known for this family; MolluscaBase, 2018), as well as two species of Clathromangelia, a genus
that has been considered to be a raphitomid (Oliverio, 1995) or
a clathurellid (Bouchet et al., 2011). The dataset also includes 14
species, which, on the basis of morphology, have been ascribed to
Raphitoma s.l.; these include the type species of Cenodagreutes, Cyrillia,
Leufroyia, Lineotoma and Philbertia, the apparent closest relatives of the
type species of Cordieria and Cyrtoides, and the closest extant relative
of the (fossil) type species of Raphitoma.

explore the relationship between this species and lineages currently
placed in the genus Daphnella Hinds, 1844 (which may prove to be
polyphyletic). We suggest a provisional classification of R. corimbensis and R. bedoyai in Paradaphne Laseron, 1954 (type species:
Daphnella botanica Hedley, 1922 by original designation), which is
currently ranked as a subgenus of Daphnella Hinds, 1844. The
rationale for this classification is that the shell features of the
type species of Paradaphne are strikingly similar to R. bedoyai and
R. corimbensis.
Our findings suggest that R. rubroapicata (E.A. Smith, 1885) and
the ‘Raphitoma’ sp. (IM-2007-17882) do not belong in the genus
Raphitoma, but further work involving broader taxon sampling is
needed to clarify their relationships.
On the basis of the phylogenetic results presented here and shell
morphological data, we propose the following new classification for
the bulk of Mediterranean/East Atlantic species currently ascribed
to Raphitoma s.l., as previously conceived (Tables 2–4).
DISCUSSION
The Bayesian analyses showed a sister-group relationship between
the Raphitomidae and Clathurellidae; this agrees with the most
recent phylogenetic hypotheses on the Conoidea. These hypotheses
were based on the most extensive taxon sampling achieved to date
(Puillandre et al., 2011; Abdelkrim et al., 2018), but were not strongly
supported. The genus Clathromangelia was confirmed as belonging to
the Raphitomidae, as has previously been suggested on the basis of
anatomical and protoconch data (Oliverio, 1995). Our finding that
Clathromangelia is a member of a clade containing Pseudodaphnella and
Eucyclotoma is not surprising given the similarity in shell morphology
between these three taxa and particularly between Clathromangelia
and Pseudodaphnella. This study shows that most of the species
ascribed to Raphitoma s.l. fall into three clades, and we propose that
these distinct lineages should be ranked as genera.
We propose to use the name Raphitoma for the clade containing
Raphitoma pseudohystrix (believed to be the closest extant relative of
the type species of Raphitoma), R. bicolor, R. cordieri, R. densa, R.
horrida, R. laviae, R. maculosa, R. philberti and R. purpurea. We note that
a strongly supported sister-group relationship of R. pseudohystrix to
the other species in the sublineage was recovered in some analyses.
We also note that R. pseudohystrix never formed a clade with other
morphologically similar spiny shelled raphitomids, such as R. cordieri
and R. horrida.
The clade comprising R. linearis, R. aequalis and R. obesa may
be the sister group of Raphitoma s.s., but this relationship was
strongly supported in only three of the eight analyses we carried
out. We propose, therefore, to treat the clade of R. linearis, R.
aequalis and R. obesa as a distinct genus for which the name Cyrillia
Kobelt, 1905 is available (see Systematic Descriptions below). Our
results show that the R. leufroyi + R. concinna lineage is not nested
within the clade that contains most of the Raphitoma species or the
clade of R. linearis + R. aequalis + R. obesa. We use the generic
name Leufroyia Monterosato, 1884 for the R. leufroyi + R. concinna
lineage.
Raphitoma corimbensis was not related to the lineages Raphitoma,
Cyrillia or Leufroyia and, as suggested by its shell morphology (and
by that of its likely close relative, R. bedoyai Rolán, Otero-Schmitt &
Fernandes, 1998), further studies of its systematic position should

Brocchi with Murex reticulatus Renier (which is also invalid: ICZN,
1999: Op. 316); the latter is probably the same as Murex echinatus
Brocchi, 1814 (=Raphitoma echinata) and it was this species that
Monterosato (1884) was indicating. Therefore, we retain Crosse’s
(1885) designation, but as an incorrect citation (ICZN, 1999:
Art. 67.7), and use Renier’s name which, even if unavailable,
can be designated as the type species for Cordieria and Homotoma;
see ICZN, 1999: Art 67.1.2).
The phylogenetic results presented here do not support any
further splitting of this genus. In this respect it is important to
note that the species traditionally ascribed to the ‘genera’ Philbertia
and Cordieria (=Peratotoma) are distributed across the tree. Similarly,
the grouping of species in the phylogeny does not correspond to
differences in larval development (as indicated by their multispiral
or paucispiral protoconch) and this is consistent with the currently
accepted view that larval development is not a reliable taxonomic
character at the genus level (Bouchet, 1990). The genetic distance
between R. maculosa and R. bicolor is small (<1%); this level of
variation could well fall within the variation of the latter species
when a denser sampling of R. bicolor is carried out. In contrast, our
phylogenetic data indicate that a DNA-barcode-based approach
could potentially be used to discriminate between closely related
species of Raphitoma (e.g. R. philberti and R. densa in the COI phylogeny; see Supplementary Material Figs S1, S2). DNA barcodes
should be used in combination with shell morphology to define
species limits in this difficult group of neogastropods.
slightly sinuous anteriorly. Siphonal canal short; siphonal notch
plain.
Remarks: Cirillia Monterosato, 1884 is preoccupied by Cirillia
Rondani, 1856, but the emended name Cyrillia Kobelt, 1905
is available and has already been used (e.g. Ceulemans et al.,
2018). This is a clear case of a demonstrably intentional
emendation (ICZN, 1999: Art. 33.2), since the prescriptions of
the Code are met: “there is an explicit statement of intention”
and “both the original and the changed spelling are cited and
the latter is adopted in place of the former” (ICZN, 1999:
Art. 33.2.1). As an intentional, yet unjustified emendation, the
name that should be used is Cyrillia Kobelt, 1905 (ICZN, 1999:
Art. 33.2.3).
Genus Cyrillia Kobelt, 1905
Diagnosis: Shell medium to large size for family, from 15 mm
(L. concinna) to 24 mm (L. villaria); shape suboval (L. erronea) to
fusiform (L. villaria). Protoconch of 3–3.5 whorls with protoconch
I (embryonic shell) of 0.5–0.7 whorls, with reticulate sculpture of
spirals and orthocline axial striae, and protoconch II (larval shell)
of 2.5–3 whorls, with diagonally cancellate sculpture, sometimes
lightly keeled last whorl. Teleoconch with slender spire of 5 (L.
concinna) to 7 (L. villaria) uniformly convex whorls; sculpture of
thin, numerous low spiral cords and broader, wavy axial ribs.
Microsculpture of dense, rather conspicuous growth lines, or
rugae; no granules or pustules. Inner lip smooth with no denticles.
Columella simple, slightly sinuous anteriorly. Siphonal canal
short (L. erronea) to moderately long (L. villaria); siphonal notch
wide, plain.
Cirillia aequalis and C. linearis lack radula and venom gland. Our
phylogenetic results suggest that denser sampling may show C. obesa
to be simply a colour variant of C. aequalis. Cyrillia zamponorum from
São Tomé Island and another probably undescribed species from
Madagascar (N. Puillandre & M. Oliverio, unpubl.) indicate that
this lineage has a wide geographical distribution.

Cyrillia Kobelt, 1905: 367 (unjustified emendation of Cirillia
Monterosato, 1884).
Cenodagreutes E. H. Smith, 1967: 1 (type species Cenodagreutes aethus E.
H. Smith, 1967 = Defrancia aequalis Jeffreys, 1867; OD). Lineotoma F.
Nordsieck, 1977 (replacement name for Cirillia Monterosato, 1884,
not Rondani, 1856).
Diagnosis: Shell small in size for family, from 5 mm (C. linearis) to
10 mm (C. ephesina); biconic, suture impressed. Protoconch 3.5–4
whorls, multispiral, with protoconch I (embryonic shell) of 0.5–
0.7 whorls, with reticulate sculpture of spirals and orthocline
axial striae, and protoconch II (larval shell) of 3.3–3.5 whorls,
with diagonally cancellate sculpture and weakly keeled last
whorl. Teleoconch with slender spire of 5 (C. linearis) to 7 (C.
ephesina) convex whorls, with reticulate-cancellate sculpture; axials
broader than spirals. Microsculpture of granules or pustules;
growth lines seldom obvious. Outer lip thickened, with 7–13
inner denticles, the 2 anterior-most stronger. Columella simple,
Remarks: The protoconch is wider (diameter = c. 220–250 μm) and
lower than in the ‘multispiral’ propoconch of species of Raphitoma
and Cyrillia.
