Griffin & Nielsen (2008): TYPE MATERIAL. The only specimen located in the collections in Paris is MNHN-Gg2002/97, which is considered to be the holotype as there is no indication that there was additional material available. REMARKS. The holotype was not illustrated by Hupé, and is a very poorly preserved internal mould in which no internal characters are visible and even the margins are broken off. Philippi’s identification of his material (Philippi 1887, p. 125-126, pl. 18, fig. 7) with this species rests on insufficient evidence. Many venerid-like bivalve steinkerns from the Chilean Tertiary around Coquimbo could be identified with it, so the name must remain a nomen dubium. |
