Family XENOPHORIDAE Troschel, 1852 [1840]

K. V. W. Palmer (1962) petitioned the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to have the name Xenophoridae “Deshayes, 1864”, conserved. However, the name was first introduced by Troschel (1852) and is now given precedence from Phoridae J. E. Gray, 1840 (ICZN Opinion 715, 1964, but with the family name miscredited to Philippi 1853; Bouchet et al. 2017: 264, 348; ICZN Code Art. 40.2).

agglutinans , Trochus – Deshayes, 1833e: 125. Listed as a Deshayes species, its original author was Lamarck, 1804. Lamarck’s species is now considered to be a synonym of Xenophora schroeteri (Gmelin, 1791) [ Trochus ] ( Pacaud 2016e: 55, 61). The Austrian Miocene material of Boué seen by Deshayes was more likely Ponderiana testigera ( Bronn, 1831) [ Trochus ].

gravesiana, Xenophora – Deshayes, 1864-DescrCoqFoss: 964, 64, pl. 64, figs 31-34. Sometimes misattributed to Deshayes, this was made available by d’Orbigny (1850b: 312, no. 276, as Phorus gravesianus ) (Pacaud 2007: 42).
