Appolloni, Massimo, Smriglio, Carlo, Amati, Bruno, Lugliè, Lorenzo, Nofroni, Italo, Tringali, Lionello P., Mariottini, Paolo & Oliverio, Marco, 2018, Catalogue of the primary types of marine molluscan taxa described by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato, deposited in the Museo Civico di Zoologia, Roma, Zootaxa 4477 (1), pp. 1-138 : 55-56

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 However, recent genetic data (MO unpublished) confirmed hints from morphology that both ( campisii and coccinea ) are the same as Aplus scaber ( Locard, 1892) [new synonymy].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.

decorata , Chauvetia [ Chauvetia decorata Monterosato, 1889 ]

1889d: 117 [XXXV: 877]—available name

Type material. Not found

Type locality. Described from Casablanca ( Morocco).

Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Chauvetia decorata Monterosato, 1889 .

procerula, Donovania [ Chauvetia procerula (Monterosato, 1889) ]

1889d: 116 [XXXVI: 876]—available name

Type material. Not found

Type locality. Described from Casablanca ( Morocco) , Algiers ( Algeria) .

Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Chauvetia procerula (Monterosato, 1889)

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) .
