A neotype for Buccinum linea Martyn, 1784 (Mollusca, Buccinidae)

Abstract A neotype is erected for Buccinum linea Martyn because of differing interpretations of this species in recent publications. The neotype chosen makes Murex lineatus Gmelin, 1791, the type species of the genus Buccinulum Deshayes, 1830, a synonym of Buccinum linea.
