Re: Double checking taxonomy of cerithium
Is the proper current name for stercusmuscarum now muscarum? (flyspeck cerith)

- No, they are distinct species.  Cerithium muscarum is from Florida and the Caribbean.  Cerithium stercusmuscarum is from West Central America.  They are quite different in appearance.

Is the proper current name for vertagus now rhinoclavis rhinoclavis?

- Not to my knowledge.  As far as I know it is still Rhinoclavis vertagus.

Are aluco and cumingii both synomyms for pseudovertagus aluco?

- Yes, cumingii is a synonym for aluco.
