Summary: | Poromya granulata (Nyst & Westendorp, 1839) Fig. 10 d–e Corbula granulata Nyst & Westendorp, 1839 (p. 398, fig. 3). Poromya granulata Nyst & Westendorff—Jeffreys 1882 [a] (p. 936). Poromya granulata Nyst—Hidalgo, 1917 (p. 567). Poromya granulata (Nyst and Westendorp) — Tebble 1966 (p. 202, text-figs. 107a–c). Poromya granulata (Nyst und Westendorp, 1839)— Nordsieck 1969 p. 171, pl. 24, fig. 97.00). Poromya granulata (Nyst & Westendorp, 1839) — Barash & Danin 1992 (p. 321); Salas 1996 (p. 72, figs. 106–108); Repetto et al. 2005 (p. 352, bottom left fig.); Oliver et al. 2016 (online resource). Poromya granulata (Nyst and Westendorp, 1839) — Poppe & Goto 1993 (p. 138). Diagnostic characters. Oval thin shell; truncate subvertical posterior margin; radial angulation from the beaks to the postero-ventral angle; radial rows of minute, subcylindrical pustules. Prodissoconch: not available. Remarks. Poromya granulata, as figured in literature, seems to exhibit some degree of variability in terms of heigth/length ratio, shape of the anterior side (rounded to oval), sharpness of the posterior angulation and heigth of the posterodorsal area. Occurrence. Box-corer sample BC72 (1 specimen); cores BC05 (5), BC72 (1). Maximum length: 3 mm. Distribution and habitat. The species is distributed from boreal and subarctic northern Atlantic waters southward to Brazil and Senegal, entering the Mediterranean as far east as Israel. It is a mud burrower found from about 30 to 1300 m depth, gradually deepening moving southward (Nordsieck 1969; Barash & Danin 1992; Poppe & Goto 1993; Oliver et al. 2016). Fossil record. Pliocene of southern Italy (Monterosato 1872); bathyal Pleistocene of southern Italy (Di Geronimo & La Perna 1997). 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 page 45, DOI:10.11646/zootaxa.4186.1.1, ... |
