Howdy, Ron!

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

>I need some help with the correct date for a species.  While working on gastropod species described by Henry Pilsbry which occur here on Jeju Island, I encountered a problem with the correct date for Olivella japonica.  Some publications use 1895 as the date but 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.
