Homonymy Retusa sulcata (Watson, 1883) is a secondary junior homonym of Retusa sulcata (d'Orbigny, 1841). No replacement name has been proposed, but the systematics of these small cephalaspids is very confused, and both species may end up in different genera after a proper re-evaluation of their status.
