Taxonomy Whilst showing specimens of Tonna poppei Vos, 2005 on pl. 30, figs 5, Cernohorsky lists this species in synonymy of Tonna cumingii (Reeve, 1849) as: "Synonyms of T. cumingii are deshayesii Reeve, 1849, perselecta Iredale, 1931, and maoria Powell, 1938. Tonna magnifica (Sowerby 1904) belongs either to T. cumingii or T. chinensis" (fide Cernohorsy, 1972:112) [details]
