It was recombined as Arca (Anadara) devincta by Etherington (1931); it was recombined as Anadara (Anadara) devincta by Reinhart (1943), Moore (1963) and Moore (1983).

Synonyms
  • Arca procumbens was named by Wiedey (1928). Its type specimen is SDSNH 24, a valve, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is LSJU loc. 444, which is in a Miocene coastal horizon in Oregon.

    It was recombined as Anadara (Anadara) procumbens by Reinhart (1943); it was synonymized subjectively with Anadara (Anadara) devincta by Moore (1963).
