Abstract

The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has conserved current usage of the generic name Bothriembryon by designating Helix melo as the type species for Liparus Albers, 1850. Bothriembryon is a replacement name of Liparus Albers, 1850, a junior homonym of Liparus Olivier, 1807 (Coleoptera).
