Abstract

Cosmetodon Branson, 1942 Original source Branson (1942): 248. Type species Arca keyserlingii d’Orbigny, 1850; by original designation. Upper Jurassic, Russia. Gender Male. Remarks Cosmetodon was erected as subgenus of Grammatodon Meek & Hayden, 1860; this was followed by Newell (1969) and recent studies (e.g., Ros-Franch et al. 2014; Prinoth & Posenato 2023). Nevesskaja et al. (2013) treated it as a distinct genus.
