"Anomia caputserpentis" was originally described in Linnaeus, 1758, but this was for a fossil species. In 1767 Linnaeus expanded his definition to include recent specimens of what was later realized to be a different species synonymous with what Linnaeus (1758) called "Anomia retusa".

Taxonomic remark The name "Anomia caputserpentis Linneaus, 1767" as such is not available. Anomia caputserpentis was first proposed in Linnaeus, 1758 and pertains to a fossil brachiopod, probably a Cretaceous (Campanian) form from Scania more commonly referred to as Terebratula praelustris Lundgren, 1885 (see Bergström & Hageltorn 1968). That Linnaeus changed the diagnosis of Anomia caputserpentis in 1767 does not change the identity of the original A. caputserpentis, nor does it make a second species under same name available. Thus, to be precise the usage would need to be "Anomia caputserpentis sensu Linneaus, 1767. [details]
