Genus Turris Röding, 1798
- Turris Röding, P.F. 1798. Museum Boltenianum sive Catalogus cimeliorum e tribus regnis naturae quae olim collegerat Joa. Hamburg : Trappii 199 pp. [Date published September 1798] [123] ["Turris Müller, 1766", was published in a work placed on the Official Index by Opinion 701, and thus does not invalidate Turris Röding, 1798. "Turris Fabricius, 1823" [Fortegnelse over afgange Biskop Fabriciusses efterladte Naturalier: 83; not available: published in a work placed on the Official Index by Opinion 521] is listed in nomenclators as a separate name, but is clearly the same name (Turris babylonica also included). Senior objective synonym of Pleurotoma].
Type species:
Murex babylonus Gmelin by subsequent designation ((= Murex bablylonius Linnaeus, 1758)). - Pleurotoma Lamarck, J.B.P.A. de Monet de 1799. Prodrome d'une nouvelle classification de coquilles, comprenent une réaction appropiée de charactères génériques, et l'établissement d'un grand nombre de genres nouveaux. Mémoires de la Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris 1: 63-91 [May 1799] [73] [Pleurotome [Link, 1807, Beschreibung der Naturalien-Sammlung der Universität zu Rostock: 118], Pleuroma [Rafinesque, 1815, Analyse de la Nature: 145], and Pleurotomina [Beck, 1847, Amtlicher Bericht über die 24. Versammlung Deutscher Naturforscher und Aerzte in Kiel, (1846): 115, 217] are incorrect subsequent spellings. See also Pleurotomus and Pleurotomites. Invalid: junior objective synonym of Turris, with the same type species].
Type species:
Murex babylonius Linnaeus, 1758 by monotypy. - Pleurotomus Montfort, P.D. de 1810. Conchyliologie Systematique, et Classification Methodique des Coquilles. Paris : F. Schoell Tome 2 676 + 16 pp. [534] [Unjustified emendation of Pleurotoma].
Type species:
Murex babylonius Montfort, 1810 by monotypy. - Turris Montfort, P.D. de 1810. Conchyliologie Systematique, et Classification Methodique des Coquilles. Paris : F. Schoell Tome 2 676 + 16 pp. [538] [Invalid: junior homonym of Turris Röding, 1798. Turris [Gray, 1857, Guide to the systematic distribution of Mollusca in the British Museum, 1: 23] is listed in Neave, 1940, Nomenclator Zoologicus, 4: 594, as a separate entry, but is apparently used in the sense of Montfort for miters and not turrids. See also Vulpecula and Turricula H. & A. Adams, 1853.].
Type species:
Voluta vulpecula Linnaeus, 1758 by original designation (Created as a genus of Mitridae. Invalid: junior homonym of Turris Röding, 1798 [Turridae]).
