Mitra versicolor
The external link in Mitra versicolor says that its status is "unaccepted (non-binominal)". I'm not sure what this means, as it's clearly composed of two parts which is what "binominal" appears to refer to, but as "Mitra nubila" is given as its accepted name maybe it should be merged.

 * There seems to have been considerable confusion in the past with regard to Mitra versicolor Martyn, 1784 ,Mitra nebulosa Swains, Mitra propinqua Adams, 1851, Mitra nubila, Gmelin and Mitra infecta (See: Edgar Smith, Proceedings of the Malacological Society of London v.7, p. 124, 1906-1907) ). G.W. Tryon states "Several species have been manufactured out of slight variations of color and form of Mitra versicolor. They can scarcely be designated as varieties." (See : G. W. Tryon (1889), Manual of Conchology tome IV, p. 112). I can only suppose that Mitra versicolor hasn't been described accurately enough by Martyn, to be accepted as a valid name.
