  Because 
  the 
  name 
  Kennerlia 
  is 
  so 
  entrenched 
  in 
  tlie 
  literature 
  the 
  explanation 
  of 
  details 
  

   connected 
  with 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  not 
  out 
  of 
  place. 
  

  

  Vokes 
  (1956, 
  p. 
  763) 
  showed 
  that 
  Pandorella 
  Conrad, 
  1863, 
  preoccupies 
  the 
  well-known 
  

   name 
  of 
  Kennerlia 
  Carpenter, 
  1864. 
  If 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  of 
  Pandorella, 
  P. 
  arenosa 
  Conrad, 
  is 
  

   accepted 
  as 
  consubgeneric 
  with 
  K. 
  bilirata 
  Conrad 
  {K. 
  bicarinata 
  Carpenter) 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  

   Dall 
  (1903), 
  Johnson 
  (1934), 
  Gardner 
  (1943), 
  and 
  Aguayo 
  and 
  Jaume 
  (1948) 
  then 
  

   Kennerlia 
  falls 
  in 
  synonymy 
  with 
  Pandorella. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  true 
  (Vokes, 
  1956, 
  p. 
  763) 
  that 
  

   P. 
  arenosa 
  has 
  been 
  accepted 
  by 
  all 
  subsequent 
  authors 
  as 
  Kennerlia. 
  The 
  most 
  recent 
  pub- 
  

   lications 
  (Poirier, 
  1952; 
  Abbott, 
  1954; 
  Perry 
  and 
  Schwengel, 
  1955) 
  do 
  not 
  have 
  the 
  species 
  

   so 
  classified. 
  The 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  shell 
  and 
  hinge 
  are 
  similar 
  to 
  "K." 
  bilirata 
  (Conrad).

  Jeffreys, 
  J. 
  G. 
  : 
  (1865, 
  p. 
  23) 
  might 
  be 
  construed 
  as 
  a 
  designation 
  of 
  tyr)e 
  although 
  he 
  

   did 
  not 
  mean 
  his 
  statement 
  to 
  be 
  so. 
  He 
  regarded 
  the 
  type 
  species 
  as 
  originally 
  designate<l. 
  

   The 
  designation 
  of 
  Children 
  (1823) 
  same 
  species 
  as 
  above, 
  was 
  for 
  Pandora 
  Lamarck, 
  1799. 
  

  

  25 
  Winckworth 
  (1934, 
  p. 
  53) 
  regarded 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  as 
  the 
  locality 
  for 
  P. 
  inaequi- 
  

   vah'is. 
  He 
  limited 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  distribution, 
  often 
  included 
  for 
  Linnaeus 
  species, 
  to 
  P. 
  albida 
  

   (Roeding).

  Regardless 
  of 
  whether 
  the 
  spelling 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  this 
  subgenus 
  should 
  conform 
  to 
  the 
  

   spelling 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Kennerley 
  (spelled 
  both 
  Kennerley 
  and 
  Kennerly 
  by 
  Carpenter, 
  

   1864b, 
  p. 
  601-602; 
  Reprint, 
  1872, 
  p. 
  85, 
  86; 
  1864c, 
  p. 
  602-603; 
  Reprint, 
  1872, 
  p. 
  231, 
  232 
  

   footnotes) 
  the 
  original 
  spelling 
  of 
  Carpenter 
  slioukl 
  be 
  maintained. 
  Carpenter 
  spelled 
  the 
  

   name 
  Kennerlia 
  in 
  many 
  and 
  all 
  instances 
  so 
  that 
  he 
  apparently 
  preferred 
  and 
  meant 
  that 
  

   combination. 
  

  

  Dall 
  emended 
  the 
  emendation 
  of 
  Fischer 
  (1887, 
  p. 
  1158) 
  from 
  Kennerleya 
  to 
  Kennerleyia 
  

   and 
  Kennerlyia. 
  Apparently 
  the 
  revisers 
  could 
  not 
  agree 
  on 
  the 
  proper 
  spelling. 
  Dall 
  returned 
  

   to 
  the 
  original 
  spelling 
  in 
  1921 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  followed 
  by 
  authors 
  since. 
  

  

  Carpenter's 
  first 
  mention 
  (1864b, 
  p. 
  602) 
  of 
  Kemierlia 
  included 
  only 
  the 
  species 
  K. 
  filosa, 
  

   but 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  was 
  still 
  a 
  manuscript 
  name. 
  In 
  the 
  next 
  references 
  (1864b, 
  p. 
  638; 
  

   1864c, 
  p. 
  602) 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  species 
  was 
  identified.
