Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy

• Hubendick, B. 1946. Systematic monograph of the Patelliformia. Kongliga Svenska Vetenskaps-Academiens Nya Handlingar, Stockholm 23: 1-93 [18] (many genus-group names have been used for species within the broad concept of Siphonaria used here. Some are based on anatomical characters, others on shell features alone. A comprehensive review of this group is required to assess the utility of these taxa)
