Remarks: Iselica anomala has been considered a synonym of Iselica globosa , originally described as Acteon globosus by Lea in 1843. However, A. globosus is a nomen nudum, lacking a proper description and illustration, and is a secondary homonym of A. globosus (Bronn, 1831) . Consequently, A. globosus is an invalid name and cannot be employed. Therefore, the accurate course of action is to reinstate the name I. anomala , as proposed here.
