Description
Summary:Athoracophorus marmoratus Simroth, 1889 Simroth, 1889. Nova acta Academiae Caesareae Leopoldino-Carolinae Germanicae Naturae Curiosorum, 54: 71, pl. 4, figs. 3–10. Type material: Syntype (1), ZMB MOLL30217 (in alcohol) (Kilias 1974: 350). Label details: ‘ New Zealand, Auckland Isl., leg.: Krone’. Type locality: ‘Auklandinsel’ (Simroth 1889: 70). Previous illustrations of type material: Simroth (1889: pl. 4, figs. 3–10). Remarks: The description of Athoracophorus marmoratus was based on material collected in 1874 by the naturalist and photographer Herman Krone, during a German expedition to the Auckland Islands to observe a transit of Venus. Simroth (1889: 79) noted that E. von Martens provided the species name, but Simroth himself was responsible for the nomenclatural act of publishing both the name and description (see Barker 2018: 229). Athoracophorus (Pseudaneitea) martensi Suter, 1909 is an unnecessary nom. nov. for A. marmoratus Simroth, 1889, non Konophora marmorea Hutton, 1879 (Powell 1979: 301; ... : Published as part of Brook, Fred J. & Ablett, Jonathan D., 2019, Type material of land snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda) described from New Zealand by taxonomists in Europe and North America between 1830 and 1934, and the history of research on the New Zealand land snail fauna from 1824 to 1917, pp. 1-117 in Zootaxa 4697 (1) on page 24, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4697.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/3542832 ...
