 Retzius, 1788]. Adopted by Lamarck, Prod. 

 80. genotype P. cpJiippiitiii [sic], Lin. The 

 same citation occurs in Lk. Syst. 134.

§Bruguiere created the name in 1792 for un- 

 named figures. Lamarck, Prod. 82, cited 

 Mytilus liirundo, Lin., but changed the specific 

 name unnecessarily in Lk. Syst. 134 to 

 comuiunis. A. crocea was a species of much 

 later date. Cuvier 1798 (Tabl. 422) adopted 

 and defined the genus citing three species. Of 

 these we here nominate A. hirundo, Lin., as 

 the type.
