Dear Anneliders,
What is the accepted binomen for the Quatrefages' (1866) picta: Eteone picta
Quatrefages, 1866 or Mysta picta (Quatrefages, 1866)? Looking into WoRMS we
can fiind that Eteone picta Quatrefages, 1866 is unaccepted, being a
superseded original combination. So we are directed to the accepted name
Mysta picta (Quatrefages, 1866). However, looking for the genus Mysta
Malmgren, 1865 we fiind that it is the subjective synonym of

Eteone Savigny, 1818.
Hoping someone can break for me this vicious loop,
