Homonymy Replacement name for Odostomia pretiosa Turtom, 1932 on grounds of secondary homonymy with Pyrgulina pretiosa Dautzenberg & Fischer, 1906, however such homonymy did not exist at the time of replacement as Saurin (1962) had transferred the senior name to Miralda (see ICZN Article 59.2). Aartsen & Corgan's name will be needed if the taxa are regarded as congeneric in the future. [details]
