Arca (Macrodon) semilarvis Keyserling

Abstract

Arca (Macrodon) semilarvis “Keyserling ” Remarks The name appears first (without authorship) in the Atlas for the paleontological course of Meller & Laguzen (1882, Paleozoologiya, part 2, pl. 2 fig. 15; as Arca (Macrodon) semilarvis), who illustrated a specimen from the Pennsylvanian of the western slope of the Ural Mts. It was also mentioned by Chernyshev (1902), who attributed the species to Keyserling (“Keys.”) and referred to it as a replacement name for Macrodon lacordairianum Verneuil, non De Koninck. The original source could not be found; it is unclear, if the species was indeed described earlier by Keyserling. If no older source can be detected, the name would be available from Meller & Laguzen (1882).
