Species Monoceros ambiguus Sowerby 1846



Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype: NHM-G26378 (Coquimbo). REMARKS. DeVries (2003) distinguished two Recent species, Acanthina monodon (Pallas, 1774) and Acanthina unicornis – into which the holotype of Monoceros ambiguus falls – and provided a detailed description and discussion. Acanthina unicornis is known to occur from the Late Pliocene to Recent of southern Peru to southern Chile (DeVries 2003).
