Species Venus munsterii d'Orbigny 1842


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Four syntypes are housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paéontologie. These are numbered MNHN-A13718 (one shell and two internal moulds) and MNHN-A13719 (one shell, lectotype, designated herein), both from Bajada; one syntype numbered MNHN-A13720, labelled Santa Fé; one syntype numbered MNHN-A13721 from St. Joseph. Two additional syntypes are housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie under numbers MNHN-Gg2005/5 and MNHN-Gg2005/6. REMARKS. D’Orbigny’s original figure seems to be a composite of two of the syntypes numbered MNHN-A13718 and MNHN-A13719 (the two that have been glued to a tablet), as it shows the size of figure 11, but the anteroventral margin is broken and seems to have been completed on the figure from the other specimen. The other two syntypes numbered MNHN-A13718 are two very poor moulds. Likewise, MNHN-A13720 is also a mould. Syntype MNHN-A13721 is a fairly good shelly right valve of Ameghinomya meridionalis from San José, on the Valdés peninsula. The specimen is glued to a tablet and labeled on the back “Chione meridionalis Sow., probablement de Santa Cruz, Patagonie. MSF, 1923”. Del Río (1991, text fig. 25) figured two un-numbered specimens from the d’Orbigny Collection (and therefore syntypes) from Bajada Grande. These could not be located by us in the collections. As more than one taxon is included in the type series, and in order to avoid further nomenclatural confusions, we designate syntype MNHN-A13719 as lectotype. Thus, the remaining specimens become paralecototypes.
