From editor or global species database
Homonymy Homonym and objective synonym to Daudin's genus of the previous year. The indications from Lamarck's text are that Lamarck was using 'Spirorbis' as his own new genus (because he attributes all existing genera he mentions to prior authors), and he invents the superfluous new name, Spirorbis nautiloides for the Serpula spirorbis of Linnaeus. This is very similar to what Daudin did the previous year with his unnecessary name Spirorbis borealis. The recognition that Lamarck's use was as a new genus name, and not a usage of Daudin's name, was made in literature by Bieler & Petit (2011: 19), who categorise Lamarck's Spirorbis as "Objective junior synonym (and invalid as homonym) of Spirorbis Daudin, 1800. Independently introduced by Lamarck who renamed Serpula spirorbis Linnaeus, 1758 as Spirorbis nautiloides." [details]
