Schizophoria swallowi
Discussion
Hall (1858) did not choose a holotype specimen and a lectotype has not been subsequently designated. AMNH 32847, a complete dorsal valve limestone matrix is chosen by Stigall-Rode as the lectotype. This specimen was previously figured in Hall’s (1858) original description of the species.
Taxonomy
Schizophoria swallovi was named by Weller (1914) [Hall (1858) did not choose a holotype specimen. Lectotype chosen by Stigall-Rode]. Its type specimen is AMNH 32847, a shell, and it is a mold.
It was recombined as Orthis swallovi by Hall (1858), Hall and Clarke (1892) and Keyes (1894); it was corrected as Schizophoria swallovi by Weller (1914) and Shimer and Shrock (1944); it was corrected as Schizophoria swallowi by Butler et al. (1920); it was recombined as Schizophoria (Schizophoria) swallovi by Stigall Rode (2005) and Butts (2007).
