An Examination of the Relationships Between Extant Dolomena Wenz, 1940, Doxander Wenz, 1940, Mirabilistrombus Kronenberg, 1998, Neodilatilabrum Dekkers, 2008 and Labiostrombus Oostingh, 1925 (Stromboidea: Neostromboidae: Strombidae).

This paper presents an examination of the relationships between Dolomena, Doxander, Mirabilistrombus, Neodilatilabrum and Labiostrombus using character state analysis and maximum parsimony. Hypothesized relationships are presented through the introduction of definitions that bridge the understanding of the evolutionary relationships with the applied nomenclature. Dolomenini is introduced to incorporate two new subtribes: Dolomenina which combines parts of Dolomena ex Abbott (1960) and Labiostrombus; and Doxanderina, which encloses Doxander and Neodilatilabrum. Based on the generated phylogeny, Amabiliplicatus, Pacificus and Dominus are introduced, while Ministrombus is validated as monophyletic. The clustering of Neodilatilabrum and Doxander within Doxanderina, and the nesting of Labiostrombus within the Dolomenini are major revisions to Stromboid systematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
