Tesch (1908) treated Helicophlegma d’Orbigny as a junior synonym of Oxygyrus Benson, 1835, which is itself now a junior synonym of Atlanta Lesueur, 1817 . The further complicated taxonomy of these pelagic gastropods is partially illustrated by the oldest synonyms listed here as derived from MolluscaBase (2023):</p><p>Atlanta Lesueur 1817: 390 (type species: Atlanta peronii Lesueur 1817: 390, subsequent designation).</p><p>Steira Eschscholtz 1825: 735 (type species: Steira lamanoni Eschscholtz 1825: 735, monotypy).</p><p>Oxygyrus Benson 1835: 174 (type species: Atlanta keraudrenii Lesueur 1817: 174, subsequent designation).</p><p>Helicophlegma d’Orbigny 1841: 100 (type species: Helicophlegma candei d’Orbigny 1841: 100, monotypy).</p><p>Brownia d’Orbigny 1841: 101 (type species: Helicophlegma candei d’Orbigny 1841: 100, monotypy).</p><p>Ladas Cantraine 1841: 37 (type species: Ladas keraudrenii Cantraine 1841: 38, monotypy).</p><p>The junior homonym Brownia Nunberg, 1963 was proposed for a group of bark beetles in the Xyloborini ( Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Wood (1980) synonymized Brownia Nunberg (as “ Browneia ”) with Ambrosiodmus Hopkins, 1915, then (Wood 1986) repeated the “ Browneia ” misspelling.</p><p>Brownia Nunberg 1963: 37 (junior homonym; type species: Xyleborus illepidus Schedl 1941: 402, original designation) (synonym of Ambrosiodmus Hopkins 1915: 55; type species: Xyleborus tachygraphus Zimmermann, 1868, original designation; see Wood and Bright 1992).</p><p>Browneia; Wood 1980: 96, 1986: 83 (incorrect subsequent spelling of Brownia Nunberg, not d’Orbigny; see Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 2009; ICZN 1999: Art. 33.3).</p><p>With regard to digital searches for homonyms, the “ candidatus ” name Brownia rhizoecola (Gruwell et al. 2010) is applied to a P-endosymbiotic bacterium from mealybugs ( Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). This name is regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (Oren et al. 2021; Parker et al. 2008), not the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999:Art. 1), and does not apply to the circumstances above.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/796A87DFFFE5FFA58885FBB7FB9CC11A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
