Treatment

elegans, Littorina View in CoL

– Leymerie, 1841: 342, nomen nudum; 1842: 14, 31, pl. 17, fig. 7a-b, ex Deshayes ms. — Type locality: Marolles-sous-Lignières. — Type age: Cretaceous (Hauterivian). When placed in Turbo View in CoL , secondary homonym of Turbo elegans J. Adams, 1797 , nec Vallot, 1801, nec W. Wood, 1818, nec Defrance, 1827, nec Costa, 1829, nec Münster, 1841. d’Orbigny (1850b: 69, no. 132) renamed Leymerie’ species Turbo adonis . (He referred only to his own treatment of this species in the Paleontologie française and noted it as being “ non Gressely, 1789”). Agathodonta elegans (Leymerie, 1842) ( Kollmann 2005: 88-89) View in CoL . However, synonym of Trochus dentigerus d’Orbigny, 1842 ( Pacaud 2017c: 82). Thus, the replacement name Turbo adonis d’Orbigny, 1850 , is a synonym.
