Species Venus hanetiana d'Orbigny 1842


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Apparently there were originally at least three syntypes. Two syntypes (both from Coquimbo) are in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paléontologie under numbers MNHN-R09523 (d’Orbigny Collection 10891) and MNHN-A13722 (d’Orbigny Collection 10891A), and both are unidentifiable internal moulds. REMARKS. In addtion to the two syntypes housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Paléontologie, the only material associated with this name is in the d’Orbigny Collection, also in the Laboratoire de Paléontologie, in a bag labeled “manque 10891 et 10892” . The specimen itself is labeled “Venus hanetiana? D’Orb. Coquimbo. Falunien B. 10891A”, and on the back of the label, “coll. D’Orbigny, 10891A”. This specimen is an internal mould, but is not the specimen figured by d’Orbigny (1842, pl. 13, figs 3, 4) nor the one he figured as Venus incerta (d’Orbigny 1842, pl. 13, figs 5, 6), although the question mark on the label suggests it may be a specimen of incerta. Herm (1969, p. 127, pl. 12, figs 12-14) described and illustrated material he referred to this species, synonymizing Venus hupeana Philippi, 1887 (p. 132, pl. 26, fig. 1) with d’Orbigny’s taxon. He included it in Eurhomalea Cossmann, 1920 [type species Venus rufa Lamarck, 1818], but his material clearly belongs in Retrotapes del Río, 1997. Frassinetti (1974, p. 44) also synonymized these two species but did not state the criteria he used for doing so.
