Taxonomy The synonymy with Antalis occidentalis (Stimpson, 1851) follows Pilsbry & Sharp (1897: 47) and Thorson & Spärck (1939: 2) but Locard (1898: 119) lists this species as a synonym of Dentalium striolatum Stimpson, 1851 (= Antalis entale (Linnaeus, 1758)) which would leave Antalis occidentalis outside the European Fauna and ERMS context.
