distorta , Eulima –Deshayes, 1825-DescrCoqFoss: 111, pl. 13, fig.24- 25; 1838-HistNatAnim2: 454-455 (partim); 1862-DescrCoqFoss: 543. This was based on Melania distorta Defrance (1823b: 468) . Sherborn (1925: 1978) mistakenly termed the Defrance taxon as “Deshayes in Defrance”. Cossmann (1904a: 161) named Deshayes’ concept of this species as Eulima erronea (discussed by Le Renard & Pacaud 1995: 92), MNHN.F.J03485, holotype. Philippi (1836: 158, pl. 9, fig. 10; 1844” 135) also referred to the Defrance species, credit - ing it to Deshayes without mentioning Defrance. Philippi’s concept was named by Rayneval & Ponzi (1854: 17) as Eulima philippi . The original species is now Melanella distorta (Defrance, 1823) .
