Bythinella Moquin-Tandon, 1856 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Prosobranchia, RISSOOIDEA): proposed conservation of usage by the designation of Bulimus viridis Poiret, 1801 as the type species

摘要

The purpose of this application, under Article 70.2 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the generic name Bythinella Moquin-Tandon, 1856 by designating Bulimus viridis Poiret, 1801 as the type species. Bythinella is a replacement name for Leachia Risso, 1826 (not Leachia Lesueur, 1821) for which the type species is Leachia viridescens Risso, 1826. Although its identity is uncertain, Leachia viridescens Risso, 1826 is not congeneric with Bythinella in its accustomed sense.
