●

pyxidata , Corbula – Bellardi, 1850: 680, nomen nudum; 1852: 235, pl. 16, figs 10-11, ex Deshayes ms. Not to be confused with Corbula pixidicula Deshayes, 1857 . Synonym of Corbula nicensis Bellardi, 1852 ( Boussac 1911: 237). Preoccupies Corbula pyxidata Tate, 1887 .

rosthorni, Corbula – Sherborn (1930: 5554) listed this name, a nomen nudum, from a paper by Boué (1835: 47), and mistakenly credited it to Deshayes. It appears there with a footnote only acknowledging Deshayes’ help, so this nomen nudum should instead be credited just to Boué.
