Species Crassatella lyellii Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype: NHM-L27967. REMARKS. The holotype figured by Sowerby (1846, pl. 2, fig. 10) is a very weakly inflated articulated pair. Topotypic material from Santa Cruz indicates that this species fits well in Spissatella Finlay, 1926 [type species Crassatella trailli Hutton, 1873]. It is far less complete than suggested by Sowerby’s figure. A well preserved specimen from the mouth of the Santa Cruz River was figured by del Río (2004b).
