This shell remained unnamed until 2024 when Pimenta, et al.* published a review of Cerithiopsidae in Brazil and identified and named several new species, including C. scobinata.  Regarding Cerithiopsis sp. from Ft. Pierce (of Krisberg) the authors commented, "In a survey of mollusks from Florida, Krisberg (2010d) indicated a single shell, named Cerithiopsis sp., occurring in Fort Pierce, eastern Florida, which is identical to C. scobinata. Regarding the high quality of illustrations and description, we confidently assign this shell to the new species, considerably extending its geographical range."
