Viviparus wesselinghi nom. nov.

Viviparus neumayri var. incerta Macarovici 1940: 322 , pl. 5, figs 72–76 [non Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 ].

Viviparus (Viviparus) achatinoides incertus — Taboyakova 1964: 43, pl. 1, figs 1–12, pl. 2, figs 1, 4–6 (cum syn.) [non Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 ].

Viviparus (Viviparus) achatinoides incertus — Roshka 1973: 113, pl. 13, figs 150–152 [non Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 ].

Viviparus incertus — Lubenescu & Zazuleac 1985: 83, pl. 14, figs 6–21 [non Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 ].

Viviparus (Viviparus) incertus — Gozhik & Datsenko 2007: 39, pl. 52, fig. 25, pl. 53, figs 2, 6, 11, pl. 58, fig. 8 [non Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 ].

Etymology. In honor of Frank P. Wesselingh (Naturalis, National Museum of Natural History, Leiden), a leading expert on Cenozoic freshwater mollusks.

Type locality. Vladychen' (= Impuţita) near Izmayil, Odessa, Ukraine.

Age. Dacian (= middle Zanclean).

Lectotype. No holotype was designated in the original publication; Taboyakova (1964, p. 43) designated the specimen illustrated in Macarovici (1940, pl. 5, fig. 72) as lectotype.

Discussion. As Macarovici introduced this taxon as variety before 1961 , it is available as species-group name ( ICZN 1999, Article 45.6.4). Here again the rule "difference in spelling of generic names" ( ICZN 1999, Article 57.5) applies and Viviparus incerta [wrong gender] Macarovici, 1940 is a primary homonym of Vivipara incerta Fuchs, 1877 [= Viviparus incertus ].
