泡囊菌属Pleurophopsis货车Winkle,1919年的地位,这发生在化能环境中,是基于重新描述的模式材料和观察随后收集的材料进行评估。结论是,Pleurophopsis这个名称不应该被使用,因为目前已知的其模式种,中中新世的P. unioides的材料,没有显示出关键的铰链细节,如若虫,subbumbonal坑,和右瓣的主齿3a。从目前已知的特征,可以得出结论,Adulomya?unioides与Adulomya和Ectenagena的模式种非常相似,表明Ectenagena是Adulomya的异名。然而,如果能得到保存较好的P. unioides的材料,并证实其与Adulomya和Ectenagena的密切关系,Pleurophopsis将具有优先权,因为它是三个名称中最古老的。
The status of the vesicomyid genus Pleurophopsis Van Win− kle, 1919, which occurs in chemosynthetic environments, is evaluated based on a redescription of the type material and observations on subsequently collected material. It is con− cluded that the name Pleurophopsis should not be used because the presently known material of its type species, P. unioides of middle Miocene age, does not show critical hinge details like nymph, subumbonal pit, and cardinal tooth 3a of the right valve. From the presently known char− acters, it can be concluded that Adulomya? unioides is very similar to the type species of Adulomya and Ectenagena, and it is shown that Ectenagena is a synonym of Adulomya. How− ever, should better preserved material of P. unioides become available and confirm its close relation to Adulomya and Ectenagena, Pleurophopsis would have priority as it is the oldest of the three names.
