Species Arca bonplandiana d'Orbigny 1842


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. One syntype in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paléontlogie, MNHN-A13944 (Santa Fé); four syntypes in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie, MNHN-Gg2005/2 (Ensenada de Ros and mouth of the Río Negro). REMARKS. There is one syntype remaining in the collection of the MNHN, under number MNHN-A13944. This specimen is a very broken left valve, but might be identified with this widely ranging species. D’Orbigny (1842, p. 130) stated that it was an uncommon taxon, although this is not really the case, as it occurs frequently in many exposures in Entre Ríos and Northern Patagonia. In the Typothèque at the Laboratoire de Géologie in the MNHN, under number MNHN-Gg2005/2 there are four additional syntypes labeled “Arches” from “entre l’Ensenada de Ros et l’embouchure du Río Negro” [between Ensenada Ros and the mouth of the Río Negro]. These specimens are very different from the other syntype and from other material referable to this species that we have seen from Patagonia and Entre Ríos (see synonymy above). They are much larger and with a much thicker shell. D’Orbigny himself already noticed this and considered that most of his material comprised juveniles, as he had “fragments that were at least double in size”. It would probably be necessary to designate a lectotype for Anadara bonplandiana, but we refrain from doing so until further collection of material from Ensenada de Ros allows proper assessment of this taxon. The single syntype from Paraná left in the MNHN (Paléontologie) collection is very poorly preserved and a ruling from the ICZN is probably appropriate in order to set aside the available syntypes and select a neotype for this taxon. At present we can only say that the four syntypes numbered MNHN-Gg2005/2 are possibly a different species.
