History and Synonymy

Canarium olydium (Duclos, 1844: 4, pl. 5 fig. 7) (Strombus)

• Syn.: Canarium olydius auct. [gender of epithet not in agreement]

1885

Tryon, 1885, p. 119:

• S. plicatus, Lam. (Pl. 7, fig. 70), and S. olydius, Duclos (Pl. 6, fig. 68), are synonyms. The difference between this species and S. urceus is so slight, and there is so much variation in the shells, that it is very doubtful whether their separation can be maintained; several distinguished modern conchologists have united them.

Strombus olydius in Tryon, 1885, Strombidae pl. 6, fig. 68

1956

Dodge, 1956, p. 285 placed Strombus olydius into the synonymy of Strombus urceus.

1970

Subba Rao, 1970, p. 114 reported Strombus (Canarium) labiatus olydius from the Andamans.

1978

Tantanasiriwong, 1978, p.8:

• "S. labiatus olydius Duclos 1844 (Fig. 95) Littoral: Burrowing in weedy sand flats landward of coral reefs."
