TYPE SPECIES. — Anomia detruncata Gmelin, 1791, by subsequent designation of Dall (1920: 331). MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Peyrère: 74 complete specimens, 11 ventral and 15 dorsal valves, and many fragments MNHN.F. A46485 - A46488 and A46555. — Bélus: five complete specimens, two ventral and one dorsal valves MNHN.F. A46489. — St-Étienne-d’Orthe: one ventral valve MNHN.F. A46490. OCCURRENCE. — fflis species is well known in the Neogene deposits of the Mediterranean province but rare in the Central Paratethys (Dreger 1889; Bitner & Dulai 2004), and it is present in the Aquitaine Middle Miocene (Bitner & Cahuzac 2004). Today it occurs in the north-eastern North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea (Logan 1979; Brunton & Curry 1979; Curry 1982). Its depth range is from 18 to 2157 m (Logan 2007). REMARKS fflis species has been found in three localities but only in one, Peyrère, it is numerous. ffle investigated specimens, although often crushed and/ or damaged, are consistent with those hitherto described having, however, smaller size (Logan 1979; Taddei Ruggiero 1985; Gaetani & Saccà 1985; Álvarez & Emig 2005). ffle shell is ovate to subpentagonal, biconvex, covered with numerous, fine ribs that are coarser and strongly beaded in young individuals (Fig. 2E). ffle cardinalia are typical for the genus with prominent inner socket ridges and deep dental ...
