Taxonomy Harring (1913) [Ref.362512] suggests that Floscularia campanulata Dobie, 1849 should receive priority over F. proboscidea Ehrenberg, 1834. He states (p.27): "Floscularia proboscidea has repeatedly been used for this species, being supposed to have priority over F. campanulata; Ehrenberg's description and figure are, however, of such a character that any attempt at identifying them with any known species can be only guesswork pure and simple".
