NO. 3579 PORTLAND CATALOGUE — REHDER 15 



I have elsewhere (Rehder, 1967, in press) discussed at some length 

 the unfortunate official restitution of Turbinella Lamarck 1799 over 

 Xancus Roding, 1798. For the sake of stability and to prevent no- 

 menclatorial anarchy, however, I follow the rulings of the Interna- 

 tional Commission of Zoological Nomenclature even though I may not 

 agree with some of these decisions. 



1714 "A fine pair of Conus araneosus, S. or Spider's Web Cones, 

 from China . . . rare, Martyn, vol. II. 676." 

 Conus araneosus [Lightfoot, 1786] 



Conus araneosus [Lightfoot, 1786], p. 76. 

 Comis arachnoideiis Gmelin, 1791, p. 3388. 

 Conus araneosus Solander. — Tomlin, 1937, p. 213. 



1718 "A large and fine, and 2 small specimens oj Patella Unguis, L. 

 (Mytilus Lingua, or green Duck's-Bill Limpet, S.) Humphrey's 

 Conchology,Pl.2.fig.2.fro7nAmboyna . . . extremely scarce." 

 Lingula lingua (Lightfoot, 1786) 



Mytilus lingua [Lightfoot, 1786], p. 77. 



Pharetra monoculoides Roding, 1798, p. 159. 



Lingula anatina Lamarck, 1801, p. 141. 



Mytilus lingua Dillwyn, 1817, p. 322. 



Lingula unguis Linnaeus. — Dall, 1920, p. 262 (not Patella unguis 



Linnaeus, 1758). 

 Lingula lingua (Solander). — Uchinomi, 1956, p. 35. 

 The use of Solander's name, as initiated by Uchinomi, in place of 

 L. anatina Lamarck, is made more acceptable by the knowledge that 

 Lamarck's name would have been otherwise replaced by monoculoides 

 Roding, 1798. 



Later (see lot 3717) Lightfoot lists the same shell as Patella unguis 

 L., a reminder of the long-standing but erroneous appHcation of 

 Linnaeus' name to this species of Lingula.

 Magellan, very rare, D'Avila's Catalogue, vol. I. j^l- 8. fig. 5."
