NO. 1210. SYNOPSIS OF NORTH AMERICAN TELLINIDJE— BALL. 295 



TELLINA (MOERELLA) MARTINICENSIS Orbigny, 1846. 



Tampa, Florida, and Aiitiilean faLina. 



Very similar to the preceding but more strongly sculptured and 

 with the sinus only partly confluent ))clow, and free from the 

 adductor scar. Tellina ohtimt Sowerb}', 1868, and tumida Sowcrby, 

 1867, are synonymous. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) MAGNA Spengler, 1798. 



Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, south to St. Thomas, the Virgin 

 Islands, and Bermuda. 



Though so much larger than most of the species, this is a t3q^ical 

 Angidua in every particular. Tellina acuta Wood, 1815, and Tellina 

 elliptica Lamarck, 1818, are synonyms. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) TENERA Say, 1822. 



Prince Edward Island, soilth to the Gulf of Mexico. This shell has 

 been called Angulus tenei\ but Atujulus is hardly of generic value. 

 Tellina elucens Mighels, 1844, was probably founded on the young of 

 this species. Tellina omoia Ravenel, 1875, and Tellina agilis Stimp- 

 son, 1857, are identical. Another species is figured under this name^ 

 by Sowerby. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) TENELLA Verrill, 1872. 



Cape Cod, Massachusetts, southward to New York. 



Angiilm modestus Verrill, 1872, not Carpenter, 1864, is synony- 

 mous. The shell referred to this species from Tampa, Florida, by 

 me" appears on further study to be distinct. The name tenella has 

 been used earlier in Tellium, but I have lost the reference. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) TEXANA Dall, 1900. 



Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, and Charlotte Harbor, west Florida. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) VERSICOLOR (Cozzens) De Kay, 1843. 



Stratford, Connecticut, west and south to the Antilles and to Santa 

 Caterina, Brazil, in 15 to 50 fathoms. 



This small shell, with much similarity to Tellina tenera^ unites radial 

 color markings which recall those of Tellina variegata Carpenter. 

 Tellina consohrina Orbigny, 1846, is closely allied. 



TELLINA (ANGULUS) SYBARITICA Dall, 1881. 



Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, south through the Antilles to Brazil. 

 Variable in color, but recognizable by its solid shell and sharp, fine 

 concentric grooving.
