Species Panopea coquimbenis d'Orbigny 1842


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. There are three syntypes in the collections at the MNHN in Paris. One of them is the figured specimen (d’Orbigny 1842, pl. 15, figs 7, 8), housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paléontologie under number MNHN A13626. The other two specimens, also internal moulds, are housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie at the MNHN under numbers MNHN-Gg2005/3 and MNHN-Gg2005/4. REMARKS. This species is known only from internal moulds. According to Philippi (1887, p. 160), he collected several moulds at Coquimbo and one of them showed bits of shell preserved near the umbo, with strong commarginal ribs. Herm (1969) synonymized P. guayacanensis Philippi, 1887 with this species and showed how to separate P. coquimbensis from P. oblonga Philippi, 1887
