Notes 
From other sources
Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorAdditional information C. Vos 03/04/2011: recombinations in synonimised genera:
Cadus galea (Linnaues, 1758) in Röding, 1798
Dolium galea (Linnaeus, 1758) in Lamarck, 1801
Cadium galea (Linnaeus, 1758) in Link, 1807 [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorSpecimen Lectotype designated from Gualtieri-collection by Beu, 2005 [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorSynonymy Buccinum costatum magnum Martini, 1777 treated as a synonym of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758). It is unavailable as non-binominal. [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorSynonymy Dolium galea var. spiritrorsum "de Gregorio" Paetel, 1887 [sic]. Treated as a synonym of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758). Error for Dolium galea var. spirintrorsum de Gregorio, 1884 [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorTaxonomy Beu (2005:119) lists the name Dolium zonatum (Green, 1830) in the synonymy of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758), with the remark (2005:121) that he is - at that point - not sure whether two species or a single species is concerned. Vos (2007:57-67) separated the two species based on the available recent material. [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorTaxonomy Beu (2005:119) listed the name Dolium crenulatum Philippi, 1845 in the synonymy of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758) following his - conditional (cf Beu, 2005:121) - assimilation of Tonna zonata (Green, 1830) with that species.  [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorTaxonomy Cernohorsky (1972:107) used the name Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758) as reference to Tonna ampullacea (Philippi, 1845) [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorTaxonomy Beu (2005:119) listed the name Dolium ampullaceum Philippi, 1846a in the synonymy of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758), a vision not substantiated by Vos (2007:60) who separated the two species based on the drawing in Philippi (1849; 1851) and material from his own collection. [details]

Unreviewed: has not been verified by a taxonomic editorTaxonomy Beu (2005:119) listed the name Dolium galea var. tenebrosa Hanley, 1860 in the synonymy of Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758), a vision not substantiated by Vos (2007:60) who separated the two species based on available recent material. [details]
