 "Euspira nitida" "(Donovan, 1804)" is the earliest available name for the common, shallow water, small-sized "Euspira" species that, in the Atlantic, has been called "alderi", and in the Mediterranean has been called "pulchella".Donovan's name was based on albino specimens of this species, which is why the name "nitida" has in the past been wrongly rejected by some authors as that of an "exotic" or "tropical" species.There are many synonyms for this species
