From editor or global species database
Remark Studies by Tomes (1885, p. 551) revealed that the type species of Duncan's genus Turbinoseris closely corresponded to Leptophylla, the latter of which is seen as a junior synonym of Acrosmilia by this author. In addition, Tomes realized that the species name 'de-Fromenteli' had been in use and was, therefore, unavailable. For that reason, Tomes created the species name anglica (=Leptophyllia anglica). Later, Tomes (1899, p. 306) revised his decision in that he conlcuded that Duncan's taxon was synonymous with Leptophyllia clavata, the type species of Leptophylllia. [details]
