Margarita cidaris was published by Carpenter in 1864 but
the description was by A. Adams so the correct quotation is
Magarita cidaris A. Adams in Carpenter, 1964.
The article was:
Supplementry Report on the present state of our knowledge
with regard to the Mollusca of the West coast of North America.
Report of the British Ass. for the Advancement of Science
for 1863, pp. 623
