3487 "A large and fine violet Solen, from China . . . extremely- 

 rare. Solen rostratus, S. Valentyn Bivalves, no. 5." 

 Hiatula diphos (Linnaeus, 1771) 



Solen rostratus [Lightfoot], 1786, p. 160. 

 Solen rostratus Lamarck, 1818, p. 456. 



It has been quite generally overlooked that Hiatula Modeer, 1793, 

 is an earlier name for SolefeUina Blainville, 1824. H. and A. Adams 

 (1856, p. 392) used it correctly in place of Soletellina, as did StoHczka 

 (1870, p. 114) and Tryon (1884, p. 167). Stoliczka (1870) designated 

 Solen diphos Linnaeus as the type. Thiele (1934, p. 909) thought 

 it was preoccupied by Hiatula Martini, 1774, which is, however, an 

 invalid name. Winckworth (1935, p. 322) in discussing Modeer's 

 genera was unaware of Stoliczka's action and designated Mya truncata 

 Linnaeus as tjrpe, hoping thereby to bury Hiatula in the synonymy of 

 Mya. 



Although Hiatula (as Soletellina) has commonly been considered a 

 subgenus of Sanguinolaria Lamarck, 1799, I feel that the differences 

 between these two groups in the nature of the hinge, pallial sinus, 

 and general shape are of sufficient magnitude to justify their being 

 considered distinct genera.
