Species Venus cleryana d'Orbigny 1842


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. A search through the collections at the MNHN was unsuccessful in locating the holotype of this species. The specimen is presumably lost. REMARKS. The only specimen available to d’Orbigny was an unidentifiable internal mould. Philippi’s figure of this species (Philippi 1887, pl. 20, fig. 5) is a reproduction of d’Orbigny’s plate 13, figure 7. However, Philippi had one specimen from Coquimbo (SGO.PI.171; see Frassinetti 1974) which he referred to this species, but this specimen has no type status. Designation of a neotype may be required after a revision of the Chilean Cenozoic venerids. Meanwhile this species remains a nomen dubium.
