Cypraedia (Eucypraedia) multicarinata

Gastropoda - Pediculariidae

Taxonomy

Ovula (Transovula) multicarinata was named by Dall (1890). Its type specimen is USNM 112450, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Martin Station [Crystal River Limestone], which is in an Eocene carbonate limestone in the Crystal River Limestone Formation of Florida.

It was recombined as Cypraedia multicarinata by Schilder (1927); it was recombined as Eucypraedia multicarinara by Schilder and Schilder (1971); it was recombined as Cypraedia (Eucypraedia) multicarinata by Dolin (1991).

Synonyms

It was synonymized subjectively with Cypraedia (Eucypraedia) multicarinata by Dolin (1991).
Cypraea (Cypraedia) chira was named by Olsson (1931). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is 3-4 miles north of Casa Saman, Chira Valley, which is in a Priabonian marine shale/ash in the Chira Formation of Peru.

It was recombined as Cypraedia chira by Ingram (1947); it was synonymized subjectively with Cypraedia (Eucypraedia) multicarinata by Dolin (1991).
