From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Arca angusta Dunker, 1867 is a junior homonym of Arca angusta Lamarck, 1805 and therefore an invalid name. However, it is the only available name for a species that is probably valid according to Huber (2015). Hence, it has been entered in the database as an accepted taxon even though it will require a replacement name. [details]
