The cerithioid (Bruguière, 1789) is widespread in the Caribbean, where it lives in often dense aggregates on hard surfaces in the middle-high intertidal. Molecular evidence shows that it comprises two species that are in fact morphologically diagnosable. We fix the nomenclature of by designating a sequenced neotype from Bruguière's historical locality of Barbados, and identify the second, cryptic species as (Petuch, 2013). The two live syntopically across the Caribbean and form a closely related species group with the Panamic (G.B. Sowerby I, 1825). Mörch, 1876, described from St Croix, in the Virgin Islands, never again recorded in the literature but listed as a synonym of in taxonomic authority lists, is recognized as a valid species of Gray, 1847. Thiele, 1929 and Thiele, 1929, are synonyms and the latter is given precedence over the former.
蟹守螺属（Bruguière，1789）在加勒比地区广泛分布，生活在中高潮间带的硬质表面上，常形成密集的群体。分子证据表明，它包含两个实际上可通过形态学诊断的物种。我们通过指定来自Bruguière历史产地巴巴多斯的测序新模本来确定其命名，并将第二个隐性物种鉴定为（Petuch，2013）。这两个物种在整个加勒比地区同域分布，并与泛美蟹守螺属（G.B. Sowerby I，1825）形成一个密切相关的物种群。1876年，Mörch从美属维尔京群岛的圣克罗伊岛描述了 ，此后在文献中再未被记录，但在分类权威列表中被列为 的同义词，现被确认为1847年Gray的有效物种。1929年的Thiele和1929年的Thiele是同义词，后者优先于前者。
