semituberculata Quoy and Gaimard ex errore Blainville, 1825a: 523 [ Peronia ],

Iles Mariannes.

― This combination was published by Blainville in the volume 38 of the Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles (F. Cuvier, editor). Blainville gives authorship of Peronia semituberculata to “Quoy et Gaimard, Atlas de zoologie du voyage de l’Uranie,” which was published in 1824. Quoy and Gaimard, however, did not publish any specific name semituberculata associated with Peronia or Onchidium in the Zoology of the Voyage de l’Uranie, neither in the Atlas, nor in the Text volume. It is possible that Blainville got the name semituberculata from Quoy and Gaimard who then decided to change the name to something else. Based on the three Onchidium species descriptions published by Quoy and Gaimard (1824), Peronia semituberculata likely is Quoy and Gaimard’s Onchidium planatum (the localities and dorsal colors are the same, and also because Quoy and Gaimard’s Onchidium vaigiense was likely called Peronia laevis by Blainville. Neither Hoffmann (1928) nor Labbé (1934a) mention Peronia semituberculata .
