Dear Conch-Lers, A consultation for yours: The species "Scala (Nitidoscala) eburnea (Potiez & Michaud, 1838)", mentioned for Southern Brazil (Santa Catarina State) in the historical contribution of Morretes (1949, p. 81) (*), now it is referred as a synonym of "Epitonium eburneum (Potiez & Michaud, 1838)". Even so, I ask: Is Epitonium eburneum really a valid species, or just a synonym of another one ??? ... (*)Ref.: Morretes, Frederico Lange de. 1949. Ensaio de Catálogo dos Moluscos do Brasil. Arquivos do Museu Paranaense (Curitiba, PR), Vol. VII, no. 1, pp. 5-216. Thanksfull in advance for the possible answer.
