Malea
Taxonomy
Malea was named by Valenciennes (1833) [Sepkoski's age data: T Eo R Sepkoski's reference number: 614]. It is extant.
It was reranked as Dolium (Malea) by Mörch (1860); it was reranked as Tonna (Malea) by Rutsch (1934) and Rutsch (1934).
It was assigned to Dolium by Mörch (1860); to Tonna by Rutsch (1934) and Rutsch (1934); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Tonnidae by Woodring (1959), Wilson (1993), Todd (2001), Beu (2005), Landau and Marques da Silva (2010) and Beu (2010).
