From editor or global species database
Synonymy The name appears as "Limneus adelina" in Spratt & Forbes (1847) along with an illustration, making the name available. However, they clearly referred it to be the same species as Adelina elegans Cantraine, 1841. This makes "Limneus adelina" a junior synonym of Adelina elegans. [details]
