The Atlantic-Mediterranean Bursa scrobilator (Linnaeus, 1758) complex is represented by three morphologically distinct forms, two that are extant corresponding to the nominal taxa Murex scrobilator Linnaeus, 1758 and Ranella coriacea Reeve, 1844, and one fossil corresponding to Murex nodosus Borson, 1825. The complex is here reviewed integrating morphological, molecular (mitochondrial COI marker) and paleontological data. The ‘scrobilator’ and ‘coriacea’ forms are proposed as two subspecies: Bursa scrobilator scrobilator (Linnaeus, 1758) with an Atlantic-Mediterranean distribution, and Bursa scrobilator coriacea (Reeve, 1844) with a West African range. The evolutionary relationships of the two recent subspecies with their most probable ancestor, the Mediterranean Miocene fossil B. nodosa, are also discussed.

大西洋-地中海布尔萨（S. scrobilator）复合物（Linnaeus，1758）的复合物以三种形态学上不同的形式表示，其中两种分别对应于名义上的分类群Murex scrobilator Linnaeus（1758）和Ranella coriacea Reeve，1844 ，以及一种化石（对应于Murex nodosus Borson）， 1825年。这里将综合体进行了综合形态学，分子（线粒体COI标记）和古生物学数据的审查。“ scrobilator”和“ coriacea”形式被提议为两个亚种：具有大西洋-地中海分布的Bursa scrobilator scrobilator（Linnaeus，1758）和Bursa scrobilator coriacea（里夫，1844年）与西非射程。还讨论了这两个最近的亚种与它们最可能的祖先地中海中新世化石B. nodosa的进化关系。
