Liguus fasciatus laureani Platt, 1949

Liguus fasciatus laureani Platt 1949: 77, fig. 15.

Remarks.

Two specimens were found in the ZMB collection labelled as “paratypes”; they are accompanied with a typewritten label and originate from the McGinty collection (now in UF; Slapcinsky, pers. commun.). The taxon name is one of the many manuscript names of Carlos de la Torre, most of which have been used by Clench, that may be found in several museums ( González Guillén, pers. commun.). This taxon was published by Platt in a paper that does not fullfil the requirements of ICZN Art. 8, 11 nor 13; it is thus a nomen nudum. The name has only been cited in species catalogues by subsequent authors ( Jaume 1952, Clench 1965, Breure and Schouten 1985).
