COMMENTS: status currently unsettled and in
need of careful study; Barigozzi (1989) questions the
validity of tunisiana, Thiery & Robert (1992) support
it. Browne & Bowen (1991) restate the argument for
abandoning the name salina for all but the extinct population at Lymington, England and replacing use of
salina with tunisiana for all Mediterranean biparental
populations. This approach is not an option under
the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
If tunisiana and salina are names for the same taxon,
salina has priority and tunisiana becomes a synonym.
