Species Ostrea rostrata Hupé 1854 | ||||||

Diagnosis / Definition: | ||||||
Griffin & Nielsen (2008): TYPE MATERIAL. Two syntypes under MNHN-Gg2002/90 (d’Orbigny Collection, Catalogue 8P, 593). REMARKS. Both syntypes are obviously conspecific with Ostrea transitoria and Ostrea maxima. Herm (1969) believed this species was conspecific with Ostrea longiuscula Hupé, 1854 (p. 283), a species from Quaternary and Recent deposits and probably a synonym of Ostrea chilensis (Philippi in Küster, 1844). However, when a large enough series is available it becomes clear that the types (apparently not examined by Herm) are only variations of Ostrea transitoria (i.e., smaller specimens of Ostrea maxima). See entries under maxima Hupé, 1854 [Ostrea] and transitoria Hupé, 1854 [Ostrea] herein. |
