Nomenclature: OPINION 2034 (Case 3087)
Hydrobia Hartmann, 1821: conserved by replacement of the lectotype of Cyclostoma acutum Draparnaud, 1805 (currently Hydrobia acuta; Mollusca, Gastropoda) with a neotype; Ventrosia Radoman, 1977: Turbo ventrosus Montagu, 1803 designated as the type species; and HYDROBIINA Mulsant, 1844 (Coleoptera): spelling emended to HYDROBYUSINA, so removing the homonymy with HYDROBIIDAE Troschel, 1857 (Gastropoda)


Abstract. The Commission has ruled that: (1) usage of the name Hydrobia Hartmann, 1821 for a genus of brackish-water prosobranch gastropods is conserved by replacement of the lectotype of its type species, Cyclostoma acutum Draparnaud, 1805, by a neotype; (2) Turbo ventrosus Montagu, 1803 is designated the type species of the nominal genus Ventrosia Radoman, 1977 and the lectotype designation for T. ventrosus by Bank, Butot & Gittenberger (1979) is validated; and (3) the homonymy between the family-group names HYDROBIIDAE Troschel, 1857 (Gastropoda) and HYDROBIINA Mulsant, 1 [details]
