We have included thetype species of the six genera – Entalium, Falcula,Hamulus, Pharetrium, Pyrgopolon and Spirodentaliumthat Pilsbry & Sharp (1898: 244-247)excluded from the Scaphopoda. However, wehave not included any species that were subsequentlydescribed in those six genera, since theydo not enter into homonymy with valid taxa ofthe Scaphopoda. The entry form is that of the listof genus-group and Recent species-group names.Detailed information on type localities, typematerial deposits and synonymy is only providedfor the names removed from Scaphopoda subsequentto Pilsbry & Sharp (1898).abbreviatum, Dentalium Deshayes, 1825: 352,pl. xviii, figs 21, 22 (“1864”: 199, pl. 3, figs 5-7).Eocene of Paris. “Serpula” heptagona Sowerby (fidePilsbry & Sharp 1898: 241) (Polychaeta).aciculatum, Dentalium Hall, 1860: 107. MiddleDevonian, Marcellus Shale and Portage Groups.Manilus, New York, USA. Coleolus aciculatus, transferredto Coleolus (phylum uncertain) by Hall(1879: 190), but it may as likely be a scaphopod(fide Pilsbry & Sharp 1898: 240).acus, Dentalium Eichwald, 1857: 584.

Remarks: figured by Eichwald, 1860: 1062,pl. 40, fig. 10. Koken (1897: 214) remarked thatEichwald’s illustration showed an unusual irregularityin its curvature (“eine Unregelmässigkeit in derBiegung”), and questioned whether this species wasreferable to the Scaphopoda. Kiselev (2001) concludedthat this species was actually from theOrdovician, and belongs to the Cephalopoda.annulata, Dentalium McClelland, 1834: 629, pl. 35,figs 1-4. Ponar River, Kamaon, northern India.Remark: the biological nature of this taxon, whichappears to be a trace fossil, cannot be determined.annulatum, Dentalium Jay, 1850: 96 [ex Mighels MS]non Dentalium annulatum Gmelin, 1791. “Maine”.Nomen nudum. Remarks: Pilsbry & Sharp (1898:240) suggested that this taxon might be a Caecum(Gastropoda). We know of no basis for suggestingthat a nomen nudum could be referable to a knowngenus.antiquum, Dentalium Goldfuss, 1841: 2, pl. 166,fig. 2. Devonian? Eifel Mountain, Germany.Coleolus antiquum (Goldfuss, 1841) (fide Yochelson2002). Yochelson (2002) concluded that thisspecies was not a scaphopod, and suggested that itbe referred to Coleolus Hall, a calcareous “worm”tube.arietinum, Dentalium Müller, 1776: 236.
