Remarks.
MolluscaBase (2018) records
Propilidium tenue
as taxon inquirendum. It is certainly not a
Propilidium
as defined by the
type
species (
Patella ancyloides
Forbes
). Actually, it is a senior synonym of
Copulabyssia corrugata
(Jeffreys, 1883)
(see
Dantart & Luque 1994
: fig. 56)
[new synonymy]
. Jeffreys stated he had examined material of
P. pertenue
sent by Monterosato from Palermo (162.5 fms = c.
300 m
, the depth of the
type
material of
P. tenue
reported in Monterosato, 1878c), and that he had previously given the manuscript name
tenue
to the new species (Jeffreys, 1883[
1878–1885
]: 674, April). Therefore,
P. pertenue
Jeffreys, 1883 (October)
is also a junior synonym of
Copulabyssia tenuis
(Monterosato, 1880 ex Jeffreys ms.)
[new combination]
.
