Species Corbis laevigata Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype: NHM-L27687 (Navidad). REMARKS. The holotype is an articulated but extremely poor specimen, with only a little shell remaining around umbo and hingeline. Despite the poor state of preservation, it is clearly a senior synonym of Amathusia angulata Philippi, 1887. Amathusia angulata is the type species of Lahillia Cossmann, 1899, a replacement name for Iheringia Cossmann, 1899 [accidentally spelled Theringia in Cossmann 1899a as stated in Cossmann 1899b], not Iheringia Lahille, 1898 [also accidentally printed Theringia, in Lahille, 1899] nor Iheringia Keyserling, 1891. Iheringia Cossmann, 1899 itself is a replacement name for Amathusia Philippi, 1887, which was already three times occupied (Cossmann, 1899a). Philippi (1887, p. 176) stated that he had not seen Sowerby’s shell. Nevertheless he included it in Fimbria Megerle von Mühlfeld, 1811 [type species Fimbria magna = Venus fimbriata Linnaeus, 1758], a genus belonging in an entirely different group.
