Type locality. “Numerous localities” in Mediterranean and Atlantic. Remarks. Monterosato (1890b: 159) deemed Jeffreys’ (1867: 203; 1869: 214; pl. 77, fig. 4) interpretation of Eulima intermedia Cantraine, 1835, as not corresponding to Cantraine’s actual species [= Melanella polita (Linnaeus, 1758)]. He had previously described this form as Acicularia intermedia var. “ solidula ” (1884h: 103; nomen nudum in 1878c: 96). The name Eulima solidula , however, may fall in homonymy with Eulima solidula A. Adams & Reeve, 1850, and it may therefore be argued that Monterosato (1890b: 159) preferred to introduce by a description a different name, Acicularia lubrica for Eulima intermedia Cantraine sensu Jeffreys. This is a well– known species of the genus Melanella Bowdich, 1822, parasitic on holothurians (Bouchet & Warén, 1986: 352). It is noteworthy that in the type material and additional (non-type) samples in the collection the typical spiral microsculpture, assumed to be diagnostic of M. lubrica as currently conceived (e.g. Bouchet & Warén, 1986: 362, figs 742,743; Gofas et al. , 2011: 228), is rather variable in presence/absence and strength. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Melanella lubrica (Monterosato, 1890). : Published as part of Appolloni, Massimo, Smriglio, Carlo, Amati, Bruno, Lugliè, Lorenzo, Nofroni, Italo, Tringali, Lionello P., Mariottini, Paolo & Oliverio, Marco, 2018, Catalogue of the primary types of marine molluscan taxa described by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato, deposited in the Museo Civico di Zoologia, Roma, pp. 1-138 in Zootaxa 4477 (1) on pages 50-51, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4477.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1454652 : {"references": ["Bouchet, P. & Waren, A.
