Hi, David!

Thanks for your mention of Okutani (2000).  It appears that 1895 is the correct date of publication for O. japonica.  I have no idea why some researchers use 1910 as the date.

Best regards!
Ron

 Howdy, Ron!
 
 I don't know if you have Okutani (2000), but he says 1895.

 encountered a problem with the correct date for Olivella

 others use 1910.  The Catalogue of Marine Mollusks of
 Japan (1895) contains what appears to be the first reference
 to O. japonica as "Olivella fortunei var. japonica, and a
 figure is given.  I have been unable to find any 1910
 publications by Pilsbry containing an original description
 of this species.
