Not until much later (in Cuvier, Dict. Sci. Nat. 58: 456 1829) does he explain: ‘nous avons ... modifié la désinence de son nom [Volutaria], pour le mieux différencier d’avec le nom d’un genre de mollusques’ [‘we have modified... the ending of its name [Volutaria], better to differentiate it from the name of a genus of molluscs’]. We have found no generic name Volutaria in the domain of zoology and assume that Cassini was worried by the similarity of Volutaria with Voluta L., a marine gastropod. However this may be, Volutaria is a legitimate name and Volutarella is nomenclaturally superfluous and illegitimate (ICBN, Art. 52.1). The combination ‘Volutarella lippii’ was not published in the generic protologue.
