Additional information
Apparently from Greek "tropaias", which is feminine. [details]
Authority
Melvill incorrectly gave the original combination as Chrysallida casta Adams, 1861, copying Tryon (1886), but Tryon ... [details]
Homonymy
Secondary homonym of Odostomia defolinia contracta (de Folin, 1872). [details]
Homonymy
Preoccupied in Oscilla by O. tornata (A. E. Verrill, 1884). [details]
