Note In the original paper where the name...
Type species In the original paper where the name Poropteron was established, "Murex tubifer Bruguière" [Purpura tubifer Bruguière, 1792] is listed as type species of both Poropteron (genus 38) and Typhis (genus 39). This is certainly an error. In the follow-up publication, Jousseaume [1881, Revue et Magasin de Zoologie, ser. 3, 7: 336] diagnosed Poropteron and stated the type species to be Murex uncinarius Lamarck, 1822. [details]
