Hary,

Abbott uses it on page 194.

The text reads

Carinate Lanistes              (2") 5 cm
Lanistes boltenianus (Roding, 1798). Nile River,
Egypt. Several operculate, left-handed species
in African rivers. Viviparidae.

Note: the o in Roding should have an umlaut, I can't put that character in
an e-mail.


> Dear Listers,
>
> Can someone tell me if R.T. Abbott used the name
> "Lanistes boltenianus (Röding, 1798)" in his Compendium of Landshells?
>
> It might be on the last page of figures since it
> is actually an aquatic prosobranch.
