 Comments
       
  Comment: Ostrea capsa Fischer von Waldheim, 1807 has priority over Ostrea stentina Payraudeau, 1826, however the name O. stentina is in use and the provisions of ICZN article 23.9 (Reversal of precedence) may apply. Here O. stentina is treated as valid, and prevailing usage is maintained, until it is confirmed whether or not the requirements of Art. 23.9 are met (see MolluscaBase, noted 7/2025)
