As Spengler's original specimens of T.carinala are in the Zoological Museum 

 of the University of Copenhagen, it has been possible for me to verify the fact that 

 Sowekby's species emarginata is synonymous with the present species. Sowerby's 

 specific name must therefore give place to that given by Spengler, which has 

 the priority. Gmelin's name oblonga (from 1790) has not the priority, because 

 Chemnitz, in 1782, mentions Spengler's manuscript-name carinata, which Spengler 

 himself afterwards published. The native land of the species has been very erroneously 

 recorded; Spengler records the coast of Guinea, Chemnitz and Salis Marschlins' 

 the European Seas, and Sowerby Brazil, all of which localities are undoubtedly 

 wrong.

Lamarck states that the interior of his specimens are ornamented with orange, 

 red, or purple rays, but this is not the case with the individuals which I have 

 before me, all of which are interiorly (and exteriorly) uniform in colour, pale-red 

 (flesh-coloured). As regards the lateral teeth, Hanley (Thesaur. Conchyl.) observes, 

 "lateral tooth distinct, approximated," while Reeve, in his diagnosis, says, "dentibus 

 lateralibus nuUis." V. Bertin and Hidalgo, on the basis of the latter statement, 

 without investigating the subject more closely, have referred the species to Macoma.
