Coan, Eugene V., Pacaud, Jean-Michel & Kabat, Alan R., 2024, Gérard-Paul Deshayes (1796 - 1875) and his taxa, Geodiversitas 46 (16), pp. 553-930 : 670

Family RINGICULIDAE Philippi, 1853

Ringicula –Deshayes, 1838-HistNatAnim2: 341-345. — Type species (SD Anton, 1838): Marginella auriculata Ménard de la Groye, 1811 . 1843-HistNatAnim3: 391-392.1862-DescrCoqFoss: 611-613. — Current status: valid type genus of Ringiculidae Philippi, 1853 .

bonelli , Auricula – Deshayes, 1830a-EncyMeth: 95; 1838-HistNatAnim2: 344; 1843-HistNatAnim3: 391, the latter two references as Ringicula . — Type locality: Turin, Italy. — Type age: Middle Miocene. — Type species (OD) of Ringiculospongia Sacco, 1892. Ringicula bonellii (Deshayes, 1830) ( Morlet 1878: 262-263, pl. 6, fig. 13). — Current status: Ringicula (Ringiculospongia) bonellii (Deshayes, 1830) ( Peyrot 1932: 303-304, pl. 11, figs 4-6, pl. 14, fig. 76).

marginata , Auricula – Deshayes, 1830a-EncyMeth: 95-96, non Defrance, 1816; 1838-HistNatAnim2: 345; 1843-HistNatAnim3: 392, the latter two references as Ringicula . — Type locality: Asti, Italy. — Type age: Pliocene (Piacenzian). Preoccupies Auricula marginata Leymerie, 1842 , ex Deshayes ms [ Acteonidae ], and perhaps Ringicula marginata von Koenen, 1892 . — Current status: synonym of Ringicula buccinea ( Brocchi, 1814) [ Voluta ] ( Landau et al. 2023: 373, pl. 16, figs 1-4).

minor , Ringicula –Deshayes, 1862-DescrCoqFoss: 612;1863-DescrCoqFoss: 40, pl. 40, figs 7-9, non Auricula ringens minor Grateloup, 1838 , now a recognized full Miocene species of Ringicula . — Type localities: Mercin-et-Vaux, Hérouval, Laversine, Laon, Vregny, Coeuvres-et-Valsery, Retheuil & Cuise-la-Motte. — Type age: Eocene (Ypresian). Ringicula minor Deshayes, 1862 ( Morlet 1878: 253, pl. 6, fig. 1; Morlet 1880: 178, 181). — Current status: synonym of Ringicula herouvalensis Morlet, 1882 , obviating the need for a replacement name (Pacaud herein).

minutissima , Ringicula – Deshayes, 1862-DescrCoqFoss: 612-613; 1863-DescrCoqFoss: 40, pl. 40, figs 10-12. — Type localities: Jeurre, Étrechy, Morigny-Champigny & Versailles. — Type age: Oligocene (Rupelian). — Current status: Ringicula minutissima Deshayes, 1862 ( Morlet 1878: 258-259, pl. 6, fig. 7; Morlet 1880: 178, 181; Lozouet & Maestrati 2012a: 290, 293, fig. 190: 21-24).

●

buccinea , Ringicula – In proposing a new subspecies, this species was listed by Millet de la Turtaudière (1864: 677) as by Deshayes, but its original publication was as Voluta buccinea Brocchi, 1814 , now Ringicula buccinea ( Brocchi, 1814) .

globulosa , Auricula –Leymerie, 1841: 342, nomen nudum; 1842: 12, 30, pl. 16, fig. 2, ex Deshayes ms. — Type locality: Marolles-sous-Lignières. — Type age: Cretaceous (Hauterivian). — Type species (SM J. E. Gray, 1847) of Cinulia J. E. Gray, 1842 . Avellana globulosa (Leymerie, 1842: 48) ( Mongin 1979: 117; Kollmann 2005: 21). However, Cinulia J. E. Gray, 1842 , was published on May 21, and Avellana d’Orbigny, 1842 , on November 21. Therefore, Cincula globulosa (Leymerie, 1842: 48) . No conclusion is advanced here about other taxa now allocated to Avellana , the type species of which is Cassis avellana Brongniart, 1822 , by tautonymy.

Order PLEUROBRANCHIDA Deshayes, 1832

This order, originally “Les Pleurobrances” [1832-EncyMeth: table between p. 552-553], was first Latinized by Herrmannsen (1847). It originally contained dispirate contents, but now covers only the Pleurobranchoidea J. E. Gray, 1827 ( Bouchet et al. 2017: 310, 353).
