olivierii

Lanistes Oliverii [lapsus calami pro Olivierii ] Montfort, 1810: 123 [un-numbered figure, p. 122]. Type material —as for carinata Olivier. Type locality —as for carinata Olivier.

Remarks. The name olivierii was introduced to replace carinata Olivier [as “ carinatans ”] in homage to Olivier. As it was intended as the valid name of the taxon it is available (Code, Art. 11.5), but nonetheless a junior synonym of carinata Olivier, 1804 .
