Status The intention of Prime to introduce this name is unclear. He listed in synonymy the name "Cycs. transversa, Lev." in Grateloup & Raulin (1855, Catalogue des mollusques terrestres et fluviatiles, vivants et fossiles, de la France continentale e insulaire, par ordre alphabétique, p. 49); there just a name in a list without any description or illustration. Perhaps Prime considered it a homonym of Cyclas transversa Say, 1829, but since there is no description, definition or indication, the name is a nomen nudum. [details]
