Nassaria (Nassarina) bushii [sic]Dall, 1889a, p. 182, pl. 15, fig. 12 [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Barbados, 100 fms.; Sand Key, Florida, 15-128 fms.; Blake sta. 5, near Cuba, 152-229 fms. [Blake sta. 5 by lectotype designation of Costa & Absalao 1998] Range: 25°N to 13°N; 82.22°W to 59.6°W Depth: 27 to 278 m Maximum Reported Size: 9.15 mm Distribution: USA: Florida: Florida Keys; USA: South of Marquesas Key, Florida; Barbados References: Costa & Absalao (1998) TM Comments: Original misspelled bushii (see comments under that name).
Nassaria bushii sic, [Not available] Comments: Original misspelling of bushiae. Dall (1889a) did not state explicitly that he was naming the species for Katharine Bush, but he compared his new species to N. glypta Bush. Dall (1889b) used the spelling bushiae in captions for plates reprinted from Dall (1889a). Boss, Rosewater & Ruhoff (1968: 53) treated bushiae as an error for bushii, but Abbott (1974: 201) adopted the spelling bushiae and cited the original spelling bushii; this is accepted here as a justified emendation under ICZN Article 33.2.1.
