Species Sabia conica (Schumacher, 1817)
Conical Horse-Hoof / Bonnet Limpet
- Amathea conica Schumacher, C.F. 1817. Essai d'un Nouveau Systéme des Habitations des vers Testacés. Copenhagen : Schultz 287 pp., pls 1-22. [181, pl. 21, fig. 4] [there is big systematic confusion as to the validity of this available name. there is no type locality for the taxon, and Lamarck's description is very brief. Some authors have the view that Hipponyx australis Quoy & Gaimard, 1835 [434] is a subsequent reference of A. conica (eg. Ludbr 1957), while others have the oppinion that this is a different species (eg. 0893 [600]). One of the latest revisions of the taxon puts A. conica as the available name of this taxon].
