Abstract

Arca cancellata J. De C. Sowerby, 1824 Original source Sowerby (1824): 115, pl. 473 fig. 2. Type stratum and age “Derbyshire Limestone”; Carboniferous Limestone, Mississippian, Carboniferous. Type locality Derbyshire, United Kingdom. Type material Stored at the Natural History Museum, London, with the coll. no. NHMUK PI OR 43184 (figured in Martin 1809: pl. 44 fig. 7 and Sowerby 1824: pl. 473 fig. 2 and Hind 1897: pl. 10 fig. 7). Sowerby reproduced the specimen as a mirror image. Remarks The name was already previously mentioned as “ Conchyliolithus Arcites cancellatus ” by Martin (1809). However, that work did not apply the principles of binomial nomenclature and was placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Works in Zoological Nomenclature by Opinion 231 (ICZN 1954). Sowerby (1824) referred to Martin’s figure, described and illustrated it, and made the name available. Hind (1897) classified the species in Parallelodon.
