Tricolia neritina (Dunker, 1846) Phasianella neritina Dunker, 1846: 110. Krauss, 1848: 105, pl. 6, fig. 6. Bartsch, 1915: 146. Type loc.: ‘ Prom. bon. spei ’ [Cape of Good Hope]; eight syntypes in ZMB (108.795). Gena lineata A. Adams, 1850: 39. Type loc.: not given; syntype in NHM (NHMUK 1963308), annotated by Robertson as lectotype, but not published. Chromotis neritina — H. Adams & A. Adams, 1863: 20. Phasianella (Chromotis) neritina — Martens, 1880: 293. Tricolia (Chromotis) neritina — Barnard, 1963 a: 210, fig. 3 b. Tricolia neritina — Grindley & Kensley, 1966: 11. Day, 1969: 158. Kensley, 1973: 52, fig. 145. Kilburn & Rippey, 1982: 47, pl. 9, fig. 8. Robertson, 1985: 24. Branch et al., 2010: 180, fig. 79.10. Nangammbi, 2010: 162, figs 2.56–2.60 (detailed chresonymy). Nangammbi et al. in press. Phasianella neritina — Jarrett, 2000: 9, fig. 29. Distribution. Eastern Cape (Port Alfred) to Namibia (Luderitz); intertidal. Notes. Records from Mauritius (Martens 1880) and the Seychelles (Jarrett 2000) are erroneous (probably based on mislocalised specimens). Tricolia munieri Vélain, 1876, from Île S t -Paul, is very similar and may prove to be a synonym. The taxon Chromotis H. Adams & A. Adams, 1863, of which Phasianella neritina Dunker, 1846 is the type species, is not genetically distinct from Tricolia (Nangammbi et al. in press).Published as part of Herbert, David G., 2015, An annotated catalogue and bibliography of the taxonomy, synonymy and distribution of the Recent Vetigastropoda of South Africa (Mollusca), pp. 1-98 in Zootaxa 4049 (1) on page 81, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4049.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24536
