Notes
"Mienis (2012:14) concluded that the genus‐group name Plotia Röding, 1798, can no longer be used as a genus for Buccinum scabrum O.F. Müller, 1774, or any other freshwater gastropod as the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has ruled Plotia Röding, 1798, to be an objective synonym of Pyramidella Lamarck, 1799, a genus of marine gastropods (ICZN, 1956: 233). Unfortunately, the genus‐group name Pseudoplotia Forcart, 1950, is not an available name as it was proposed after 1930 and does not fulfil Article 13 of the Code (ICZN, 1999: 17)" (Low & Tan, 2014:16).
