From editor or global species database
Authority Fleming (1828:304) listed the name Turritella incrassata without mention of authority nor bibliographical reference [which he did do for other species described by J. Sowerby, auct]. As such, authority is to be attributed to Fleming, 1828. Brown (1849:69-70), however, considered that Fleming's mention concerned Sowerby's species. As this has not yet been contradicted nor adjusted eversince, Fleming's species name is here considered synonymous to that of Sowerby based on Brown, 1849. [details]
