Description
Summary:Acesta cryptadelphe sp. nov. Figs. 2, 3 C–D, 6, 14–16 Material examined. Collection data for each sample set is shown in Table 2. The holotype and three paratypes are from The Gully, off Nova Scotia; nine paratypes are from Beothuk Knoll, off northeast Newfoundland (southwest Flemish Cap), including the tissue from two specimens separated from their respective shell; and two paratypes are from the main basin of Bay d’Espoir, southern Newfoundland (Gagnon & Haedrich 2003). Table 3 summarizes the catalogue/accession information and basic morphological data for each specimen included in the type series. All specimens are deposited in the Mollusc Collection of the Canadian Museum of Nature; five of these were used to extract partial COI gene sequence datasets, which are available on GenBank.

Holotype (CMNML 097156): Complete specimen, left valve preserved dry (Fig. 14 A), right valve (posterior margin damaged) and tissue preserved in 70% ethanol; nearly equivalved (see byssal notch below), thin, ... : Published as part of Gagnon, Jean-Marc, Kenchington, Ellen, Port, Antony, Anstey, Lynne J. & Murillo, Francisco Javier, 2015, Morphological and genetic variation in North Atlantic giant file clams, Acesta spp. (Bivalvia: Limidae), with description of a new cryptic species in the northwest Atlantic, pp. 151-180 in Zootaxa 4007 (2) on pages 174-177, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4007.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/235013 ...
