NO. 7 OPINIONS 115 TO 123 2^] 



Richter (concurred in by Haas and Weiiz) reports: ^ 



9. Vxtrina Draparnaud, 1801, mit Helix pcllncida Miiller als Typus besteht 

 nach den Regeln ohne Weiteres zu Recht. 



Ob Draparnaud ausser der eigentlichen pcllncida Muller noch eine andere Art 

 hinzurechnete, zumal in einer spateren Veroffentlichung (1805: Helicolimax 

 major Ferussac, 1807) und zunial eine danials noch unbeannte Art {major 

 erhielt diesen Artnamen erst 1807 durch Ferussac), ist gleichgiiltig. Diese 

 Tiere gehoren eben nicht zur Spezies pellncida Miiller. 



Other reports as under Ccrion. 



12. Tornatelliiia Pfeiffer, 1842, type T. clansa Pfeiffer. Pilsbry and Baker 

 report : 



" Tornatcllina Beck (1837, Ind. Moll., p. 80), nude name, including several 



nude species, among them T. clansa. 

 Strobilus Anton (1839, Verz. der Conchyl., p. 46), type designated by Gray 



(1847, P. Z, S., p. 175), for ' Sirombilus Alton,' J^". ttirritus (S. tnrrittis 



Anton, 1. c). Not Strobila Sars (1835). 

 Tornatellina Pfeiffer (1842, Symb. ad hist. Helic, vol. II, pp. 5, 55, 130), 



type designated by Gray (1. c), Tornatcllina clausa (^Strobilus bilainel- 



latiis Anton)." 



Discnssiuji: Beck's TornatelUna is a noiiicn nudum but Pfeiffer 

 vested it and some of Beck's specific names. Since that time, Tornatel- 

 lina has been universally used as the typical genus of the Tornatellini- 

 dae (Gastropoda Pulmonata), because those authors who paid any 

 attention to the prior Strobilus considered it preoccupied by Strobila. 

 Unfortunately, there is also the rather closely related Strobila Morse 

 (1864 = Strobilops, Strobilopsidae). Tornatcllina turrita and T. 

 bilamellata {+ clausa) are probably congeneric, although they are 

 generally placed in dift'erent sections of the genus. Anton's descrip- 

 tions are very brief and would probably be almost unidentifiable 

 without Pfeiffer's subsequent elaborations (1848). 



Richter (concurred in by Haas and Wenz) reports: 



12. Tornatcllina Pfeiffer, 1842, mit Strobilus bilaniellatns Anton := T. clausa 

 als Typus besteht neben 



Strobihis Anton, 1839, mit S. turrilns Anton als Typus, solange die Sys- 

 tematiker die Arten clausa und turritus nicht als kongenerisch betrachten. Will 

 man beide in Subgenera innerhalb eines Genus vereinigen, so muss dieses Genus 

 Strobilus Anton heissen; die Subgenera wiirden dann heissen Strobihis (Stro- 

 bilus) Anton mit turritus als Typus und Strobilus (Tornatcllina) Pfeiffer mit 

 clausa als Typus. 



Bather reports : 



I agree with Woodward, but point out that this solution is " proper," i. e., in 

 accord with the Rules, only if Strobilus Anton be regarded as a homonym of 

 Strobila Sars. Since that, according to the appellants, was the prevailing view, 

 I would leave it undisturbed. If that be not agreed to, I would probably accept 

 Suspension of the Rules on the ground of Confusion. [Secretary concurs.]
