Discussion / Comments: | ||||||
Griffin & Nielsen (2008): TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype of Dentalium giganteum: NHM-G26395 (Navidad). REMARKS. This species is common from Navidad to Chiloé. A composite of three specimens from own collections reaches a total length of at least 15 cm. The holotype shows remains of the deep apical lobe typical of Fissidentalium Fischer, 1885 [type species Dentalium capillosum Jeffreys, 1877]. Steiner & Kabat (2004) cited J. de C. Sowerby as author of this species, which is a mistake. |
