Species Ostrea alvarezii d'Orbigny 1842



Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. The only specimen figured by d’Orbigny (1842, pl. 7, fig. 19) is the left valve housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paléontologie at the MNHN in Paris under number MNHN A14085, as “Ostrea Ferrarisi” (both in Catalogue Falunien B and on the label with the specimen). As d’Orbigny described the right valve as well, we assume that there should have been other syntypes. One of them is present in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie under number MNHN-Gg2005/1. REMARKS. The specimen figured by d’Orbigny is a juvenile of this widespread oyster known from Entre Ríos and northern Patagonia. It is attached to a small pectinid. According to ICZN (1999) Article 33.4 the original spelling alvarezii must be used for this species.
