TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



Gastrana Schumacher, 1817. 



Though not a member of this family, this genus is mentioned here because 

 of the entanglement of its synonymy with the others. The type is Tellina 

 fragilis L. The synonyms are Diodonta Deshayes, 1846 (not Diodon Linne, 

 1766, nor Didonta Schumacher, 1817) ; Fragilia Deshayes, 1848; and Capsa 

 Morch, 1858, not Lamarck, 1799. 



Sanguinolaria Lamarck, 1799. 



Sole example S. sanguinolentus Gmelin, the S. rosea of Lamarck and many 

 later authors. This is very closely related to 6". diphos Gmelin, but they will 

 be kept in separate sections here for clearness in the synonymy. This is exactly 

 Aldus Oken, 1815, not Aldus Oken, 1821 or 1835, Lobaria Schumacher, 1817, 

 not Muller, 1776, and Isarcha Gistel, 1848. It is not Sanguinolaria Blainville, 

 1825, nor of Deshayes, 1835. 



Soletellina Blainville, 1824. 



Sole example figured in Blainville's Manual is 5". diphos Gmelin, called 

 radiata by Blainville. Synonyms: Aldus (sp.) Oken, 181 5; Hiatula (sp.) 

 Modeer, 1793 ; Solenotellina Morch, 1853. The group will probably only 

 form a section of Sanguinolaria. It is not Soletellina Cossmann, 1886, whose 

 use of the name seems due to a confusion of species called radiata by the early 

 authors. 

 Asaphinella Cossmann, 1886. 



Founded on Capsa minima Deshayes. This seems, from the figures, to be 

 but doubtfully established in its relations, and may possibly belong in another 

 family, though some of the species associated with it by Cossmann are minute 

 Psammobias, others he has since (1891) removed to the Tellinidce under the 

 name of Herouvalia (semitexta). 

 Psammobia (Lamarck, 1818) Bowdich, 1822. 



Type P. feroensis Gmelin,^ T. gari L., 1762, not of L., 1758; this is not 

 Psammobia Cossmann, 1886. Synonyms: Gari, pars, Schumacher, 1817; Hap- 

 lomochlia Gistel, 1848. 

 Psammotcea (Lamarck, 1818) Bowdich, 1822. 



Example cited, P. serotina Lam.; identified by Hanley (Ips. Lin. Conch.) 

 with Tellina gari of Rumphius and Linne in 1758. The type is fixed by Bow- 

 dich, as Lamarck selects none. Blainville endeavored in 1824 to bring together 

 a group which he realized was closely related, though previously divided into 

 several genera. To do this, instead of consolidating the unnecessary genera
