Homonymy Ihering (1907) considered Modiola contorta Borchert, 1901 an unionid of the genus Diplodon. For whatever reason, he treated the species as a homonym of Unio contortus (authority not stated but probably he meant Lea, 1857) and introduced Diplodon fraus as replacement name. Since there was no homonymy, that new name is a junior objective synonym of Modiola contorta. However, Borchert's name is a primary junior homonym of Modiola contorta Dujardin, 1837. As youngest available synonym, Diplodon fraus is consequently the valid name of the species. [details]
