Domecia acanthophora View in CoL forma africana Guinot, 1964: 272 View in CoL , figs. 6, 10–12, 16, 17. Domecia acanthophora africana Manning & Holthuis, 1981: 122 View in CoL .

Remarks. This taxon was originally described only as a form of Domecia acanthophora ( Desbonne & Schramm, 1867) by Guinot (1964), and as such, the name is not nomenclaturally available under current zoological rules (Article 15.2). It was only first used as a valid name by Manning and Holthuis (1981) (who recognised the taxon as a subspecies), but credit the authorship and original description to Guinot.
