Floridobia winkleyi (Pilsbry, 1912)

Collected on Sept. 16, 1956 by Christopher M. Packard, Curator of the erstwhile Maine Institute of Natural Science, Portland. When the species was named by Pilsbry, it was placed in the genus Amnicola. Frank Collins Baker (1926) created the genus Marstonia and transferred A. winkleyi into it. Fifty-nine years later it was assigned to the genus Cincinnatia Pilsbry, 1891 based on extensive anatomic study by Davis and Mazurkiewicz (1985; e. g., Turgeon, Quinn, et al., 1998). Interestingly, all three generic assignments were concocted within the walls of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia! It remained in Cincinnatia until 2002, when Thompson and Hershler introduced the genus Floridobia  [Type (OD) Amnicola floridana Frauenfeld, 1863] and transferred Amnicola winkleyi Pilsbry, 1912 into it from Cincinnatia.
