The (almost) unknown Italian naturalist Raffaello Bellini (1874 - 1930): biography malacological publications, and status of his recent molluscan taxa Author Fasulo, Giuseppe Author Duraccio, Sergio Author Federico, Antonio Author Crocetta, Fabio text Zootaxa 2019 2019-09-11 4668 3 343 369 journal article 25478 10.11646/zootaxa.4668.3.3 911ecd53-56b9-4c32-b948-7aec22113775 1175-5326 3449562 DC193332-6762-47B2-B2E6-C5949D56D41E Fissurella graeca var. caprensis Bellini, 1929a: 58 Type locality: Capri Island ( Napoli , Tyrrhenian Sea , Italy ) . Original description: “con apice più elevato e reticolatura meno marcata” [with a more prominent apex and a less marked reticulate sculpture—with respect to Diodora graeca ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) , reported as Fissurella graeca L.]. Remarks: having been instituted as a geographic race, we rank it subspecific, and thus available ( ICZN 2012 : Art. 10, glossary). Considered a junior synonym of Diodora graeca ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) by Fasulo (2012) , although no figures were ever published by Bellini (1929a) . The original description may easily fit several Mediterranean fissurellid limpets, all occurring in Capri Island and not even congeneric—e.g. Fissurella nubecula ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) , D. graeca , Diodora italica (Defrance, 1820) . Thus, it is considered a nomen dubium ( ICZN 2012 : glossary).
