Species Pyrula distans Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Three syntypes: NHM-G26334-6, all said to come from Navidad. However, G26336, a mould, belongs to another species and the sediment indicates that it also comes from a different locality. Probably it is a “Ficus carolina d’Orbigny, 1847” from Patagonia. To clarify the identity of this species, G26334 is here designated as the lectotype. REMARKS. Ficus distans is a well known species and the reader is referred to Covacevich & Frassinetti (1980).
