• Chicoreus Montfort, P.D. de 1810. Conchyliologie Systematique, et Classification Methodique des Coquilles. Paris : F. Schoell Tome 2 676 + 16 pp. [610] [placed on the Official List by Opinion 911, 1970, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 27(1): 20. Cichoracea [Oken, 1817, Isis, 1817(8): 146], Cichorax [Reichenbach, 1828, Allgemeine Taschenbibliothek der Naturwissenschaften, 5(1): 91], Cichorium [Voigt, 1834, Das Thierreich... von Cuvier, 3: 359], and Chicoracea [Griffiths & Pidgeon, 1834, The animal kingdom, 12: 79] are incorrect subsequent spellings. "Cichoraceus Schweigger, 1820" is also listed by Herrmannsen, 1846, Indicis generum malacozoorum primordia, 1: 234, as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Chicoreus. Cichoreus [Agassiz, 1847, Nomenclator Zoologicus. Index universalis: 80] was suggested to be a more correct spelling, but was not used as valid, and is not an available name].
