Remark Iredale (1929) established Quidnipagus and Quidnipagus palatam with the following statement: "As the species [Cochlea palatam Martyn, 1787 {unavailable name}] cannot be classed in Tellina (s. str.), a different generic name Quidnipagus is here proposed, naming Martyn's Cochlea palatam as type". Several authors (e.g. Oliver, 1992) consider that Iredale introduced Quidnipagus as a subgenus of Tellina. However, on p. 293, Quidnipagus is explicitly listed as a genus. [details]Unreviewed
