Buccinum polarisGray, 1839, p. 128 [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Icy Cape [Alaska] Range: 73°N to 60°N; 130°W to 0°W Depth: 2 to 100 m (live 2 to 100 m) Maximum Reported Size: 67 mm Distribution: Greenland: West Greenland, East Greenland; Eastern Atlantic: Iceland References: Macpherson (1971) DdLlNSEWM Comments: Some Malacolog editions before 4.0.3 stated "The specific name is often spelled 'polare', but 'polaris' is not an adjective (or a word) in classical Latin, so Gray's original spelling must stand unchanged as the word could be a noun (Polaris, the pole star)..." However, polaris appears in Littleton's Latin Dictionary.
