Mytilarca cuneatus

Bivalvia - Myalinida - Ambonychiidae

Taxonomy
Plethomytilus cuneatus was named by Kindle and Breger (1903) [Authority is properly Kindle & Breger in Kindle 1904; also, the reference is Kindle 1903, but as it was not printed until March 1904, Linnaean rules mandate the 1904 date.].

It was recombined as Mytilarca cuneatus by Pojeta (1966).
