History and Synonymy

1959

Woodring, 1959, p. 191:

• "The early Miocene Cuban O. bermudezi Clench and Aguayo (1939) seems to be O. aguadillensis. Unlike other fossils identified as 0. aguadillensis, the type of 0. bermudezi has part of the outer lip preserved. It is flaring and winglike, like that of many strombid gastropods."
