Philbertia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.[1] Some of the species that were formerly in this genus have been transferred to the genus Raphitoma.
Philbertia became a synonym of Raphitoma Bellardi, 1848 because Dr. P. Bouchet (1990) did not consider valid the subdivision of species into different genera solely on the basis of differences during larval development.[2][3]
In describing Raphitoma, the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) relies on an unpublished database "Nomenclator of Molluscan Supraspecific Names" by Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P. (2010). However, the WoRMS database still (December 2011) shows 21 species retaining the genus name Philbertia. The website Gastropods.com also still accepts many species of Philbertia as valid, others as synonyms.[4] Furthermore, in their publication "A new operational classification of the Conoidea (Gastropoda)", Bouchet, Kantor et al. (2011) still recognize Philbertia as a valid genus in the Raphitomidae.[5]
