Remarks
Sowerby 3rd, 1882:
“The specimen passed from the collection of the late Thomas Lombe Taylor into that of Mr. Melvill, who gave it the above name in manuscript.”
Melvill’s label states:
“Named by Sowerby after my eldest daughter Marion Sybil Bury.”
Note: All of the original labels have the species spelt sybillae but Sowerby published the name as sibyllae.
