coccinea, Pollia [ Aplus coccineus (Monterosato, 1884)] (Figures 20E, F)

1884h: 114 [XXXI: 770]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–30028 —2 sh “ A. coccineus Palermo ” “ A. coccineus 1884 Monts Nom. Conch Med. p. 116”

Type locality. Described from Palermo (Sicily).

Remarks. This morphotype has been recently redescribed by Ardovini (2015) as Pollia campisii . However, recent genetic data (MO unpublished) confirmed hints from morphology that both ( campisii and coccinea) are the same as Aplus scaber (Locard, 1892) [new synonymy]. Settepassi (1977) figured a syntype as Muricopsis coccineus Monterosato, 1884, and used the name Pollia coccinea Monterosato, 1884 for specimens of the Aplus dorbignyi – complex, probably Aplus nodulosus (Ant. Bivona, 1832) (Aissaoui et al., 2016). MolluscaBase (2018) recorded Pollia coccinea in the synonymy of either Aplus dorbignyi (Payraudeau, 1826) or Muricopsis cristata (Brocchi, 1814), both wrong synonimies.

vulpecula, Lachesis [ Chauvetia recondita (Brugnone, 1873)]

1872b: 49 [VI: 131]—nomen nudum

1874a: 276 [X: 202]—available name

Type material. Not found in MCZR. In MNHN there are two syntypes in the Locard collection

Type locality. Described from San Vito lo Capo (Sicily).

Remarks. Monterosato (1874a: 276) stated it was the same as Lachesis recondita Brugnone, 1873 . Being Lachesis vulpecula Monterosato, 1872 a nomen nudum, the valid name of the species is Lachesis recondita Brugnone, 1873 (currently in Chauvetia). Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Chauvetia recondita (Brugnone, 1873) .
