Re: Unknown murexes
Japs, I think, Emma is right.
In general, the older name has priority and the younger name is just a synonym and shouldn't be used. So the species should be named Hexaplex cichoreum (Gmelin, 1791) [= Chicoreus cichoreum].
poseidon: "......but the same shell were described already as hexaplex chicoreum.......". Sorry  :-[, but as far as I know, Gmelin named the species "cichoreum", not "chicoreum".
GMELIN (1791): Caroli a Linné – Systema Naturae, Tom. I, Pars VI. (Murex cichoreum p. 3530)
