Taxonomy Roberts (1870:199) attributes the specific epithet salita to the genus Luponia with first reference (authority) to Runmphius, 1705 (Amb. rarit. pl. 38, f. L.), and includes Cypraea vitellus Linnaeus in the synonymy. As Rumphius' description is not available (pre-Linnaean), the name becomes available under Robert's authority, yet immediately a synonym of vitellus as stated by Roberts (first available name for the species).
