Cariboliva
"Shells medium size for genus, elongated, with straight sides; spires flattened or elevated, deeply canaliculate; color pattern composed of networks of small triangles; columellar plications numerous, fine. This subgenus converges on the shell morphology of the subgenus Arctoliva. The species of Cariboliva are confined to the Caribbean region.".
Type species by original designation: Oliva scripta Lamarck, 1811.
This genus-group taxon contains the only extant "Oliva" species (the type species: Oliva scripta Lamarck, 1811, see below) from the Caribbean currently not included in Americoliva Petuch, 2013. It is characterised by a very wide filament channel.
RV 5795. Suriname.
The type species is widely distributed in the Caribbean and North South America (Tropical Atlantic realm. Tropical Northwestern Atlantic province. North Brazil Shelf province). Oliva canaliculata Lea, 1843, from the Pliocene of South Carolina and Virginia, USA, seems to be its precursor.
