Nomenclature "The original description of this species [Melinna denticulata Moore, 1906] was inadvertently placed under the name of M. cristata, which, as is well known, has already been employed by Sars. The name denticulata was, however, correctly used in the description of the figures on page 857 [for 859]" (Moore, 1908: 349). [details]From other sources
