Species Venus insulsa Hupé 1854


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. The holotype is housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie under number MNHN-Gg2002/62. REMARKS. The exact locality from where the holotype comes is unknown. Therefore, the age is uncertain, as rocks exposed in Quiriquina range in age from the Maastrichtian through the Tertiary. The holotype is a closed shell and thus the interior is not available for study. This hampers any attempt of generic placement. Philippi (1887, p. 111, pl. 57, fig. 6) reported a specimen from Lebu, where the exposures are probably Eocene. However, its identity with Hupé’s species is uncertain.
