Abstract
Based on similarity in shell morphology, it is proposed that Alvania pluricosticillata Chirli & Forli, 2021 (fossil, recently described from the Plio-Pleistocene of Tuscany and Calabria) and Crisilla gagliniae (Amati, 1985) (extant, originally described from eastern Sicily) actually represent a single species. By priority, Crisilla gagliniae is the name to use for this species.

Key words
Gastropoda; Rissoidae, fossil; Recent; Pliocene; Pleistocene; Mediterranean Sea; Italy; synonymy.

Riassunto
Sulla base delle somiglianze nella morfologia conchiliare, si propone che Alvania pluricosticillata Chirli & Forli, 2021 (fossile, descritta recentemente dal Plio-Pleistocene di Toscana e Calabria) e Crisilla gagliniae (Amati, 1985) (attuale, originariamente descritta dalla Sicilia orientale) rappresentino in realtà una sola specie. Per priorità, Crisilla gagliniaeè il nome da usare per tale specie.
