Species Tellinides oblonga Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype: NHM-L27961. REMARKS. The only specimen is attached to the matrix and the hinge characters are unavailable. However, the elongate tellinid shape with an obvious left valve posterior flexure and strong comarginal ridges on the dorsal half of the anterior end suggest it may be a species of Tellinella Mörch, 1853 [type species, Tellina virgata Linnaeus, 1758 ]. According to Sowerby (1846, p. 250), d’Orbigny believed this species was a Solenella, although he himself classed it as Tellinides.
