NOTE: Martini’s name is not available. His flosculosus is Strombus mutabilis Swainson, 1821 fide Abbott
(1960: 72–73). Link’s species was incorrectly placed in this synonymy by various authors as shown by Abbott.
587. Murex scaber Chemnitz, Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21; 1865[II]: 22; 1866[III]: 34; 1869[IV]: 90; 1874[V]: 131, 155.
In 1869 with synonyms “M. miliaris Gm., M. vitulinus Lam., M. purpura Desh.” The 1865 listing, and all after
1866, placed in subgenus Vitularia. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Chemnitz’s name is not available. This species is now Vitularia miliaris (Gmelin, 1791).
589. Murex nigritus Mensh. [sic; = Meuschen], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21. Nomen nudum.—Murex radix Gm[elin],
Schmeltz, 1865[II]: 22; 1866[III]: 34.—Murex nigrita Meusch[en], Schmeltz, 1869[IV]: 90; 1874[V]: 131.
Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Meuschen’s name is not available. The species was correctly listed in lists II and III as Murex radix
Gmelin, 1791.
590. Murex inflatus Lam[arck], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21.—Murex frondosus Mart[ini], Schmeltz, 1865[II]: 22;
1866[III]: 34; 1869[IV]: 89; 1874[V]: 130, 155, in subgenus Chicoreus in 1869 and 1874, with numerous
synonyms. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Martini’s name is not available. The earliest name for this species is Murex (Chicoreus) ramosus
(Linnaeus, 1758) fide Vokes (1971).
591. Murex capucinus Ch[emnitz], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21; 1865[II]: 22; 1866[III]: 34; 1869[IV]: 89; 1874[V]: 130.
In subgenus Pteronotus in 1869 and Chicoreus in 1874. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Chemnitz’s name is not available. This name was made available as Murex capucinus Lamarck, 1822.
595. Ricinula fenestrata [no author], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: In Catalogs [II]: 23 and [III]: 33 this number represented Ricinula cavernosa Reeve, 1846. There must
have been some error in identification as Drupella fenestrata (Blainville, 1832) is in use and R. cavernosa is
considered a synonym of Cronia ochrostoma (Blainville, 1832).
596. Ricinula amoenum Phil[ippi?], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: This name cannot be located. This name does not appear in the Catalogs again, but in Catalog [IV]: 85
Number 596 is used for Ricinula (Sistrum) fiscellum Chem[nitz]. This was probably an error for number 597,
q.v.
597. Purpura (Sistrum) fiscellum Chemn[itz], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21; 1865[II]: 23.—Sistrum fiscellum Chemn[itz],
Schmeltz, 1866[III]: 33.—Ricinula (Sistrum) fiscellum Chem[nitz], Schmeltz, 1869[IV]: 85; as number 596 in
error.—Pentadactylus (Sistrum) fiscelluus Ch[emnitz], Schmeltz, 1874[V]: 121; as number 598 and on page
153 as number 596, both in error. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Chemnitz’s name is not available. This name was made available by Gmelin and is now Muricodrupa
fiscella (Gmelin, 1791).
598. See number 597
601. Purpura grisea Dkr. [= Dunker] nov. sp., Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 21. Nomen nudum.—Purpura exigua Dkr. [=
Dunker], Schmeltz, 1865[II]: 23; 1866[III]: 33; 1869[IV]: 85; 1874[V]: 123. Nomen nudum. In subgenus
Thalessa in 1869 and Stramonita in 1874.
NOTE: No description of either of these nomina has been located. In Catalog V Schmeltz listed “8839 Purpura
grisea Bolt. [= Röding, 1798]” from Port Denison [Western Australia]. There was evidently some confusion as
this Röding species is the amphi-Atlantic Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1758).
608. Nerita lineata [no author], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 22; 1865[II]: 23.—Nerita lineata Born, Schmeltz, 1866[III]:
38.—Nerita lineata (L.) Chem[nitz], Schmeltz, 1869[IV]: 99.—Nerita lineata Ch[emnitz], Schmeltz, 1874[V]:
144. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Chemnitz’s name is not available. There is no “Nerita lineata Born”, Chemnitz’s name being made
available as Nerita lineata Gmelin, 1791. According to Cernohorsky (1979: 42) that usage is preoccupied by
N. lineata Mueller [= Müller], 1774 and the name for the species is Nerita balteata Reeve, 1855.
610. Nerita chamaeleon Chemn[itz], Schmeltz, 1864[I]: 22. Nomen nudum.—Nerita chamaeleon L., Schmeltz,
1866[III]: 38.—Nerita stella Chemn[itz], Schmeltz, 1869[IV]: 99. Nomen nudum.
NOTE: Chemnitz’s name is not available. Nerita chamaeleon Linnaeus, 1758 is in use. The other name used
was made available as Nerita stella Dillwyn, 1817 and is according to Tryon (1888: 20) the same as N.
chamaeleon Linnaeus, 1758.
614a. Janthina exigua Lam. var. maxima [no author], Schmeltz, 1869[IV]: 81; 1874[V]: 114. Genus as Ianthina in
1874.—Nomen nudum.
NOTE: This varietal name was never made available. Possibly it was intended as a descriptive term.
621. Trochus (Trochocochlea) carinata [no author], Schmeltz, 1864 [I]: 22. Nomen nudum.—Trochus zebra Wood,
Schmeltz, 1865 (II): 24; 1866[III]: 38.
