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

îles Vaigiou et Vawak [New Guinea, Indonesia].

― The binomial Peronia laevis was published by Blainville in the volume 38 of the Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles (F. Cuvier, editor) and then illustrated in his Manuel (1825b, pl. 41, fig. 7). Blainville gives authorship of Peronia laevis 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 laevis associated with Peronia or Onchidium in the Zoology of the Voyage de l’Uranie, neither in the Atlas, nor in the Text. It is possible that Blainville got the name laevis 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 laevis likely is Quoy and Gaimard’s Onchidium vaigiense (it is the only species that Quoy and Gaimard described from those localities, Vaigiou and Rawak islands, and the dorsal colors are the same; also, Quoy and Gaimard’s Onchidium planatum was likely called Peronia semituberculata by Blainville; see semituberculata ). Neither Hoffmann (1928) nor Labbé (1934a) mention Peronia laevis .
