Eoborus sanctijosephi is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Strophocheilidae, from the Paleocene Itaboraí Basin, Brazil.[1][2] Eoborus sanctijosephi is a large species in the genus Eoborus. Its name makes reference to the place of discovery: the São José de Itaboraí municipality, where Itaboraí Basin is located.[2]
The species was originally described as Strophocheilus sanctijosephi, but was later transferred to the genus Eoborus.[3] The species Vorticifex fluminensis (Brito, 1967) was considered to be the fragment of the spire top of E. sanctijosephi and, thus, its synonym.[4]
