Validity Simone et al. (2015: 57) use Spondylus ambiguus as a valid name “because the question of whether Schreibers’ [1793] work can be accepted as binominal appears to be unresolved (see also Cox, 1929)” [Cox, L. R., 1929, On the varietal names for Spondylus in K. Schreibers’ Versuch einer vollständigen Conchylienkenntnis (1793). Proceedings of the Malacological Society of London, 18(5): 251–254][details]
