PLEISTOCENE BATHYAL MOLLUSCAN ASSEMBLAGES FROM SOUTHERN ITALY
Four Pleistocene bathyal molluscan assemblages from southern Italy (Calabria and Messina area) were studied. One hundred and thirty-six species were recorded. Twenty-four were classified and described in detail and thirty-five were illustrated. The following new combinations are proposed: Solariella...

Four Pleistocene bathyal molluscan assemblages from southern Italy (Calabria and Messina area) were studied. One hundred and thirty-six species were recorded. Twenty-four were classified and described in detail and thirty-five were illustrated. The following new combinations are proposed: Solariella marginulata (Philippi, 1844), Iphitus tenuisculptus (Seguenza, 1876), Benthomangelia tenuicostata (Seguenza, 1879), Chrysallida microscalaria (Seguenza, 1876), Ennucula corbuloides (Seguenza, 1877), Ennucula rotundata (Seguenza, 1877), Thestyleda cuspidata (Philippi, 1844), Katadesmia confusa (Seguenza, 1877), Austrotindaria pusio (Philippi, 1844), Austrotindaria salicensis (Seguenza, 1877).
