Interchangeable taxa

Some specimens of T. voeringi resemble lachesis considerably, but can always be separated by their proportionally shorter siphonal canal, more convex whorls of more slowly increasing diameter, and the diameter of the third whorl is about 4 mm in T. voeringi, while it is 2.5 mm in lachesis. T. fenestratus can be separated by its broader and more solid shell of a larger apical angle and shorter siphonal canal. T. dalli has a much stronger spiral sculpture and T. moebii has more rapidly growing diameter of the apical whorls and a much broader shape.
