Type material. MCZR–M–22093 —4 sh “Homalogyra Polyzona Brus. ms. Isola Ulbo.”// 1 sh “Mondello nella corallina officinalis”// 11 sh “Palermo”// 13 sh “Palermo” “ H. polyzona Brus. ms.”.

Type locality. Described from Ulbo Is. ( Croatia), coasts of Provence ( France), Mondello and Palermo (Sicily).

Remarks. It is currently considered ( Gaglini, 1993; MolluscaBase, 2018) as a synonym of O. simplex (O.G. Costa, 1861) . The first uses by Monterosato (1872b; 1875b; 1878c; 1884f) of the epithet polyzona were all nomina nuda. B.D.D. (1884 [September]: 325, pl. 37, fig. 32) first described it, whereas Monterosato (1884h) was published without a precise date, and thus December 31st is assumed. Therefore, the introduction by B.D.D. has priority over that by Monterosato (both being however available).
