Hi all,
I'm presently preparing a brief note on Diaphana marshalli (Sykes) and I
have a problem  for the date to attach here: Skes 1905 or Sykes 1904?
Sykes description appeared on Proceedings of the Malacological Society
of London Vol 6: 31-32. In Clemam database the species appears as D.
marshalli (Sykes, 1905) in the "Cyronym" section, while is presented as
marshalli (Sykes, 1904) in the "Basionym" section. Volume 6 of the
Proceedings refers to years 1904-1905 and at its beginning the dates of
its issues are reported: Issue 1 - 3 are indicated as 1904, while issues
4 - 6 as 1905.
In the literature the species is cited as Sykes 1905, like in Schiotte
1999, which seems to support the 1905 choice, but I'm deeply uncertain
on the subject. Can you help me on the matter?
Thanks in advance
Enzo
