Interchangeable taxa

Alvania scrobiculata resembles the more southern A. jeffreysi, but that species can be recognized by the distinct zigzagging sculpture on the larval shell. The teleoconch sculpture is sharper and coarser in A. scrobiculata than in Onoba mighelsi which species has only weak axial sculpture. Alvania pseudoareolata has a more dominating axial sculpture on the teleoconch and its protoconch has a less conspicuous initial whorl.
