Biddulphia robertsiana (Greville) Boyer 1900, p. 707
BasionymTriceratium robertsianum Greville 1866
StatusValid
CommentsBasionym(s) cited by Boyer: "Triceratium robertsianum Grev., M.M.J. (1863), 231, Pl. 9, fig. 9 (?); ib. (1886), Pl. 2, fig. 22". T. robertsianum Greville 1863 and T. robertsianum Greville 1866 were described by Greville as two different species. They do, however share some morphological similarities. We take the 1866 species name as the basionym of Biddulphia robertsiana since Boyer placed a query on the other one.
