Molluscan taxa proposed by Hanley
This list, should be used in conjunction with the following list of Hanley’s publications. F. & H. Hist. Brit. Moll. refers to Forbes and Hanley’s A history of British Mollusca and their shells, 4 vols, 1848-53. There are six taxa in Hanley and Theobald’s Conchologia Indica, 1876, that are attributed to "Thorp" or "Thorpe" MSS. We have already given our reasons for considering "Thorp" and "Thorpe" to be Hanley pseudonyms. We have ignored many other scientific names associated with illustrations in the Conchologia Indica because they are not validly proposed. We may have overlooked some names occurring in the Catalogue of recent bivalve shells (1842-56) but we are reasonably confident about the validity of those we have culled from this confusing publication.
Readers should also be aware that many names have been erroneously or carelessly attributed to Hanley in subsequent publications. A typical example is Tellina splendidacited as of Hanley in Salisbury (1934) but was clearly stated by Hanley (1856) to be the T. splendida of Anton 1839. The confused systematics of this taxon was resolved by Smith (1915) and Salisbury should have referred to Hanley’s taxon as T. splendida Anton in Hanley 1856 non Anton, 1839.
