Pollicaria Gould, 1856 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Type species:
Cyclostoma pollex Gould, 1856: 14; by monotypy (see ICZN, 1999[9], Art. 68.3). The type species ‘Cyclostoma pollex Gould, 1856 [October]’ is currently recognized as a junior subjective synonym of Megalomastoma gravidum Benson, 1856 [March].
Note
When describing his new species as Cyclostoma pollex, Gould (1856)[10] simultaneously proposed the new generic name Pollicaria for this new nominal species. Gould also doubtfully included Cyclostoma myersii Haines, 1855 and Cyclostoma chrysalis Pfeiffer, 1852 in the Pollicaria Gould, 1856. Benson (1859)[11] published a new generic name Hybocystis containing a single species from Burma Megalomastoma gravidum Benson, 1856. Although Benson (1860)[12] noted that Hybocystis was a junior subjective synonym of Pollicaria Gould, 1856, the name Pollicaria was widely overlooked prior to Kobelt’s (1902)[13] review of cyclophoroideans and both Wenz (1938)[5] and Pain (1974)[14] continued to mistakenly cite Megalomastoma gravidum Benson, 1856 as the type species. With only the doubtful inclusion of Cyclostoma myersii Haines, 1855 and Cyclostoma chrysalis Pfeiffer, 1852 in the original description of Pollicaria, the type species of Pollicaria was unequivocally fixed in the original publication by monotypy.
Diagnosis
Shell pupoid, small to large (shell height 35–50 mm), thickened and solid. Shell smooth or malleated sculpture from almost white to pale yellow, reddish brown and nearly black; periostracum generally thick. Whorls 5–7, last whorl expanded, body whorl distorted when adult; sutures weakly impressed. Aperture rounded, shallow to absent posterior angled groove; peristome continuous and thickened; lip duplicated and reflexed; umbilicus narrow. Operculum multi-lamellar calcareous plate. Radula taenioglossate with seven teeth in each transverse row.
