Status Apparently this taxon was not seriously proposed by Brusina (1884), who discussed at length the issue of splitting the Dalmatian Miocene Theodoxus into numerous species, sections, subgenera and genera as done by Bourguignat. On the specific case of an non-sculptured morphotype in an otherwise sculptured taxon, he wrote (rather sarcastically it seems) "one creates just as well for this unkeeled Neritine also a new genus e.g. Bourguignatia acranica". The name is linked to a short description and therefore available, but it is not used in the following literature, not even by Brusina himself in his following monographs. The unsculptured morphotype was considered to belong to Theodoxus imbricatus (Brusina, 1878) by Neubauer et al. (2016), without referring to Bourguignatia though. [details]
