Nomenclature Thomson (1927, p. 213) notes that the name "Anomia decollata Chemnitz, 1785" (and thus "Megathyris decollata" derived from it) was not binomial and thus not available, and further concludes that Gmelin's (1790) name "Anomia detruncata" should be used in place of it. However, while the original usage of "Anomia decollata" by Chemnitz (1785) was non-binomial and unavailable, the name was subsequently made available by Dillwyn (1817). [details]
