Nomenclature Cotton (1943: 144) diagnosed the genus in a key, without declaring it as new but attributing the name to Iredale (1943), while using the different spelling Revisessor, with ‘Revisessor tasmanicus Martens’ [= Hydrobia tasmanica Martens, 1858) as the only included species (i.e., type species by monotypy). Hence, Revisessor Cotton, 1943 is an available name. However, the species Ascorhis tasmanica (Martens, 1858) is a brackish water species (Ponder & Clark, 1988) and not identical with the freshwater species from Lake Dulverton, Tasmania, which was depicted by Cotton (1943: pl. 14, figs 9–10) as Revisessor tasmanicus. Consequently, the type species of Revisessor is an incorrectly identified species that is distinct from Hydrobia tasmanica Martens, 1858. Austropyrgus simonianus (Brazier, 1875), originally described as Amnicola simoniana Brazier, 1875, with its subjective junior synonym Bythinia dulvertonensis Tenison Woods, 1876, is known to occur in this lake, exhibiting shells that closely resemble the specimen figured by Cotton (1943) as Revisessor tasmanicus (Clark et al. 2003: 91). In order to best serve stability and universality of nomenclature, Köhler & Bouchet, under Art. 70.3.2 of the Code, fixed Bythinia dulvertonensis, subjective junior synonym of Austropyrgus simsonianus and mistaken as Hydrobia tasmanica.
