Kilburn (1974) designated figs 1840 and 1841 of Chemnitz (1781) as the lectotype figures. Liotia fulgens Gould, 1859: 142. Johnson, 1964: 79. Type loc.: St Simon’s Bay, Cape of Good Hope [Simonstown, False Bay]; holotype in USNM (24151), figured by Bartsch (1915). Ilaira fulgens — Bartsch, 1915: 166, pl. 29, figs 4–6. Turbo cidaris cidaris — Kilburn, 1974: 192, figs 3A, 4A (additional synonyms and references). Richards, 1981: 37, pl. 10, fig. 75. Kilburn & Rippey, 1982: 47, pl. 9, fig. 10a. Turbo (Sarmaticus) cidaris cidaris — Alf & Kreipl, 2003: 54, pl. 81, pl. 82, figs 1, 2. Distribution. E. Cape (Port Elizabeth) to Atlantic Cape coast (Table Bay and Robben Island); intertidal and shallow subtidal. Intergrades with T. cidaris natalensis on the southern Cape coast (Cape Agulhas to Port Alfred). A record from Angola (Odhner 1923; Nicklès 1950) seems improbable and requires confirmation.
