Abstract
Priority and synonymy of the name to be used for the family usually known as Cymatiidae are discussed. Names adopted are Family Ranellidae Gray, 1854 and subfamilies Ranellinae Gray, 1854, Cymatiinae Iredale, 1913 (1891) (conserved under ICZN Article 40b), and Personinae Gray, 1854. A neotype designated for Buccinum caudatum Gmelin, 1791 stabilises this as the valid name for the species commonly known as Linatella (Linatella) cingulata (Lamarck, 1822). Other synonyms are Fusus cutaceus Lamarck, 1816; Triton undosum Kiener, 1842; Triton rostratus “Martini” Mörch, 1852; Triton poulsenii Mörch, 1877; Purpura bantamensis Martin, 1899; Cymatium (Linatella) krenkeli Cox, 1930; Cymatium (Linatella) floridanum Mansfield, 1930; C. cingulatum peninsulum M. Smith, 1937; and Linatella neptunia Garrard, 1963. The first present-day specimen is recorded from eastern Northland, New Zealand where, however, L. caudata occurred commonly during late Pleistocene time. A lectotype designated for Triton cynocephalum Lamarck, 1816 (used by some authors in place of Linatella wiegmanni) stabilises this as the valid name for the species known also as Cymatium (Ranularia) moritinctum (Reeve, 1844) and Cymatium (Ranularia caribbaeum Clench & Turner, 1957. A lectotype designated for Triton wiegmanni Anton, 1838 stabilises this as the valid name for the strongly shouldered Western American species of L. (Linatella). Synonyms are Triton perforatus Conrad, 1849 and Triton nodosum Menke, 1851. Murex succinctus Linné, 1771 is the valid name for the species usually known as Linatella (Gelagna) clandestina (Lamarck, 1822). Other synonyms are Neptunia doliata Röding, 1798 and Triton confinis Brancsik, 1896.Keywords
