 Comments
       
  Comment: Ménétriés (1849) attributes authorship of Megilla tersa to Erichson on page 306. However Erichson's role in describing the species is unclear with respect to the name and the publication, and therefore does not satisfy the criteria necessary to make some other person other than the author of the work (Ménétriés) the author of the name as specified in ICZN 50.1.1  
    Brooks 1988 states in the account for the Retusa Species Group (page 462): "The biology of two Old World species has been studied - retusa (sometimes under names aestivalis and monacha) (Nielsen, 1902; Popova, 1984) and atroalba (as antiope, Batra, 1980)." and in Appendix 3, page 559: "altaica Radoszkowsky, 1882 An, P (= Megilla tersa Erichson, 1849 n. syn.) (460, 462)"
