Status Bayle (1880) incorrectly considered Cerithium barrandianum Piette, 1855 as a junior homonym of Cerithium barrandei d'Archiac, 1854 and introduced Cerithium comptoni as a replacement name (which is thus an objective synonym). Fischer (1969) followed this, considering Piette's original name as "insufficiently characterized", but the name was still validly introduced. [details]
