Status Cossmann (1895) considered "Actaeonella conica Zekeli, 1852" as a junior homonym of Acteonella conica Briart & Cornet, 1868 and introduced Actaeonella (Trochactaeon) belgica as a replacement name. However, Zekeli had not introduced a new taxon but had merely attributed Tornatella conica Münster, 1844 [= Trochactaeon conicus] to Actaeonella (despite marking the name as "Zk."). Since the secondary homonymy persists with Münster's species and the name was replaced before 1961 (Art. 59.3), Acteonella conica Briart & Cornet, 1868 is considered permanently invalid. [details]
