From editor or global species database
Authority McCleery (2011: 102) treated "Eratoidea costulata" as a valid species and attributed the name to Thiele, 1925. However, Thiele did not establish a species with that name, neither in Marginella, nor in Dentimargo, nor in any other marginellid genus. Because ICZN Art. 16.1 requires that "every new name published after 1999 [...] must be explicitly indicated as intentionally new", the name Eratoidea costulata cannot be attributed to McCleery, 2011, and remains unavailable.
