Leptaxinus ferruginosus (Forbes, 1844) — Repetto et al. 2005 (p. 310, mid right fig.). Diagnostic characters . Subquadrangular to suboval, longer than high shell; expanded anterior side; hinge with a blunt cardinal tubercle; outer surface with growth markings only; very shallow posterior radial depression; blunt sinuation of the postero-ventral margin. Prodissoconch: shell type ST-2D; length about 130 µm; weakly inequilateral ellipsoidal D-shaped outline; convex profile; surface with irregular radial wrinkles around the cicatrix; P-1 with a narrow swollen shell lip; transition to the nepioconch well marked, somewhat step-like. Remarks . The species is sometimes referred to as M. ferruginea (Locard, 1886), an unjustified emendation of Forbes’ name (see Oliver et al. 2002, p. 68). Occurrence . Box-corer sample BC72 (4); cores BC05 (1), BC67 (1), BC72 (1). Maximum length: 2 mm. Distribution and habitat . Mendicula ferruginosa has a widespread distribution, including the northern Pacific, North and central Atlantic and the Mediterranean; it is a symbiont-lacking suspension feeder dwelling on mud and muddy sand from shallow shelf to abyssal depths (Payne & Allen 1991; Buhl-Mortensen & Høisaeter 1993; Pons-Moyà & Pons 1999; Oliver et al. 2016). It was regarded as a typical element of VP (bathyal mud) biocoenosis (Di Geronimo et al. 1982), also characterizing the Abra-Nucula biocoenosis in the bathyal of Taranto (Di Geronimo & Panetta 1973). Fossil record. Miocene of Calabria; Pliocene and Pleistocene of Norway, Great Britain and Italy; Pleistocene of Denmark (Monterosato 1872; Caldara et al. 1981; Di Geronimo & Bellagamba 1985; Di Geronimo & La Perna 1997; Petersen 2004; Tabanelli 2008). : Published as part of Negri, Mauro Pietro & Corselli, Cesare, 2016, Bathyal Mollusca from the cold-water coral biotope of Santa Maria di Leuca (Apulian margin, southern Italy), pp. 1-97 in Zootaxa 4186 (1) on pages 36-37, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4186.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/165288 : {"references": ["Forbes, E.
