- Title
Haliotis papulata Reeve 1846 (Vetigastropoda: Haliotidae), the pimpled abalone, is the correct name for the small Indo-West Pacific abalone referred to as Haliotis thailandis Dekker & Patamakanthin 2001 and not as a synonym of Haliotis varia Linnaeus 1758

- Abstract
The syntypes of Haliotis papulata Reeve 1846 have been re-examined and are found to not represent specimens of H. varia Linnaeus 1758. Haliotis papulata appears to be the correct name for specimens that are currently considered H. thailandis Dekker & Patamakanthin 2001. The synonymy of Haliotis thailandis within H. papulata provides a more detailed understanding of the distribution of the species and its probable close phylogenetic relationships with the Indo-Pacific abalone species, Haliotis unilateralis Lamarck 1822 and H. clathrata Reeve 1846.
