ANOMIIDAE: Cepa "Gray, 1847" [Huber lists Cepa as a synonym of Anomia citing Gray in Appendix 10 of "Narrative ... of HMS Fly ..". However, there is no such genus in that Appendix 10, but there is a genus "Leda". It is suggested that Huber's Cepa is a misreading of a handwritten Leda] — Gray, J.E. 1847. Appendix 10.
