Dayrat, Benoît, 2009, Review of the current knowledge of the systematics of Onchidiidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata) with a checklist of nominal species, Zootaxa 2068 (1), pp. 1-26 : 8

ater Lesson, 1830: 300 [ Onchidium ], Doréry [=Dorey],

Nouvelle Guinée [New Guinea, Indonesia].

Type material: possibly 2 syntypes (MNHN).

― Valid ( Bretnall 1919; Hoffmann 1928; Labbé 1934a, as Scaphis atra ). Gray (1850: 117) and Adams and Adams (1858: 234) attributed authorship of an Onchidella nigra to Lesson, but Lesson did not name such a species. Onchidella nigra likely was a name used by mistake for Onchidium ater , as suggested by Hoffmann (1928) and Labbé (1934a).
