通过对中国科学院南海海洋生物标本馆收藏的南海产蜑螺科Neritidae标本的整理和分类学研究发现,黑线蜑螺中文名存在使用混乱的现象,一直使用的学名Nerita lineata Gmelin,1791与Nerita lineata müller,1774构成了异物同名,且与Nerita balteata Reeve,1855为同物异名。依据目前较新的文献报道,通过对该种的外部形态特征的观察确认,以及与近似种的比较讨论,对该种蜑螺的种名以及中文名进行了澄清和修订,确定为黑线蜑螺Nerita balteata Reeve,1855。
This paper dealt with inaccurate identification of some species in the family Neritidae. Specimens were arranged and classified systematically. The result showed that there are confusion and synonym: the name of the Lineate Nerite, Nerita lineata Gmelin, 1791, was a junior homonym ofNerita lineata m/iller, 1774 and a synonym ofNerita balteata Reeve, 1855. In addition, the Chinese name of this species was not unified in the published literatures. We clarified and revised the species name of the Lineate Nerite in the current literatures: Nerita balteata Reeve, 1855 according to the morphology and comparisons with similar species. All specimens were obtained from collections of the South China Sea Institute of Oceannology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
