Name priority[edit]

I am curious as to how it is that a name first given in 1965 has priority over one given in 1822. Lamarck described this species as Terebra muscaria in 1822. Granted the genus has been reassigned as Myurella, why is this not named Myurella muscaria? Ptilinopus (talk) 22:03, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
