Synonyms[1]
  • Eudrastus Gistel, 1848
  • Onchis Férussac, 1822
  • Paraperonia Starobogatov, 1976
  • Quoya Labbé, 1934
  • Quoyella Starobogatov, 1976 (unnecessary replacement name for Quoya Labbé, 1934, by Starobogatov by Starobogatov treated as a junior homonym of "Quoya Deshayes, 1843"; the latter is in fact an incorrect subsequent spelling of Quoyia Gray, 1839 [Planaxidae])

Even if the name Onchis as proposed by Férussac, 1822 [April] [2] is older than Peronia Fleming, 1822 [June], there is no need to replace Peronia (adopted by Labbé and others) by Onchis (a name that was almost completely forgotten). The systematics of the family Onchidiidae is already quite confusing and there is no need to disrupt it further. Therefore Onchis is accepted as a synonym of Peronia.[3][4] Onchis was proposed by Férussac in 1822 without description or indication, so it was a nomen nudum and not made available at that occasion.
