Name

• Roboastra tentaculata (Pola, Cervera & Gosliner, 2005)
  • Authority for current placement: Pola, Cervera & Gosliner, 2008: 397 ('However, despite the taxonomical consideration of the genera Roboastra and Tambja given by Pola et al. (2007), that morphological synapomorphy, together with the strong molecular evidence that T. tentaculata is a member of the Roboastra clade, compel us to transfer T. tentaculata to Roboastra to preserve the monophyly of Roboastra.')
  • Original genus: Tambja

Synonyms

• Tambja tentaculata
