Homonymy From Bieler & Mikkelsen (2025: 9): "Huber (2010a: 652) introduced A. concha as a nomen novum for preoccupied Astarte nana Smith, 1881, non Astarte sulcata var. nana Jeffreys, 1864, nec Reuss, 1844. It should be noted that Huber’s reference to homonymous “Astarte sulcata var. nana” is an error for Astarte compressa var. nana Jeffreys, 1864 that was copied from Warén (1980)." [details]
