Comparison of breathing device and operculum characteristics among the five genera that closely resemble Rhiostoma. The specimens and opercula represented herein are the type specimen or topotype of the respective type species of each genus; Pterocyclos: P. rupestris Benson, 1832 (lectotype UMZC I.102070, no locality data), Spiraculum: S. hispidum Pearson, 1833 (specimen NHMUK 1906.4.4.72, from Khasi, Teria Ghat), Rhiostoma: R. haughtoni Benson, 1860 (syntype UMZC I.103445, from Moulmein), Cyclotus: C. variegatus Pearson, 1833 (specimen NHMUK 1896.6.7.34–35, from Palawan), Opisthoporus: Cyclostoma taylorianum Pfeiffer, 1851 = junior synonym of Pterocyclos biciliatum Mousson, 1849 (specimen NHMUK 20210200 for shell, from Basan, Sarawak) and Pterocyclos tener Menke, 1856 (NHMUK ex. Cuming collection for operculum, from Cochin China), and Ptychopoma: Cyclophorus chinensis Möllendorff, 1875 (lectotype SMF 39415, from Lushan bei Kiukiang, China).
