Abstract

This paper updates, clarifies and corrects taxonomic and nomenclatural errors found in the paper referred to in the above title since publication. In MolluscaBase Nerita nigerrima Dillwyn, 1817 is treated as a valid species but is here regarded as a junior synonym of N. undata based on the neotype of the latter species (syn. nov.). Nerita modesta Hombron & Jacquinot, 1848 is currently assigned synonym of N. histrio Linnaeus, 1758 in MolluscaBase, but study of the original figures shows this name should be assigned to N. chamaeleon Linnaeus, 1758 (syn. nov.). Eichhorst (2016: 448, 548) listed Nerita obscura Hombron & Jacquinot, 1848 as a synonym of both N. picea Récluz, 1841 and N. argus Récluz, 1841. MolluscaBase treats it as a synonym of N. picea, but examination of the original figures of N. obscura indicates that it is instead a synonym of N. argus (stat. nov.). The well-known species N. scabricosta Lamarck, 1822 has been incorrectly interpreted as an Eastern Pacific species; its syntypes instead show that it is a synonym of N. costata Gmelin, 1791. Although N. ornata G. B. Sowerby I, 1823 is the correct name for the Eastern Pacific species, we recommend a separate formal revision of these names before adopting it.
