First record of the genus Adipicola (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Mytilidae) and description of a new species from the Argentine SW Atlantic Ocean
This work describes a new species of a whale fall mytilid, Adipicola leticiae n. sp., which was found on the skull of a sei whale, Balaenoptera borealis, collected by a trawling vessel off the Gulf of San Jorge, Argentina. The species represents the first record of a deep water mytilid living on org...
