Species Oliva chiloensis Hupé 1854


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Two syntypes housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie under number MNHN-Gg2002/51. REMARKS. Hupé did not formally describe this species, because of the poor preservation of the material. However, he did state its difference with Oliva simplex in having a proportionally shorter spire (“… parece vecina de nuestra O. simplex; pero ofrece en las proporciones de su espira más corta diferencias bien apreciables”), so this name is available. Oliva chiloensis is probably ancestral to the Pliocene to Recent Chilean Oliva peruviana Lamarck, 1811 which is much larger. Oliva chiloensis has also been found at Ranquil on Arauco Peninsula (own unpublished data).
