Species Amphidesma variabilis Hupé 1854


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. There are three syntypes housed in the Laboratoire de Géologie at the MNHN under number MNHN-Gg2002/123. REMARKS. Although placing it in Semele Schumacher, 1817 [type species Tellina proficua Pulteney, 1799], Philippi (1887, p. 151) stated that he felt inclined to place this species in Cumingia Sowerby, 1833 [type species Cumingia lamellosa Sowerby, 1833], noting that it was possibly identical with his Cumingia antiqua Philippi (1887, p. 151, pl. 23, fig. 10).
