Material examined

Remarks

See Mikuž & Gašparič (2014) for a more extensive synonymy. Taviani et al. (2011) re-assigned “ Solenomya ” doderleini to Acharax , which is followed here. They gave its geologic range in northern Italy as Early Miocene (Burdigalian) to Late Pliocene (Piacenzian). The new material documented here falls well within this geologic range. This species occurs mainly in deep-water marls and at methane seep deposits. Already Mayer (1861: 365) wrote “I have found this [species] in the layer with large globular Lucines, forming the base of the Tortonian stage, at Pino, near Torino”, indicating the association of this species with members of the chemosymbiotic bivalve family Lucinidae , probably Meganodontia Bouchet & Cosel, 2004 or Lucinoma Dall, 1901 , as in many Calcari a Lucina seep deposits. Whilst frequently found in Mio-Pliocene deep-sea reducing sediments of the Italian Peninsula, Acharax is by contrast rarely found in Calcari a Lucina deposits ( Taviani et al. 2011). In the erratics found near Ca’Fornace, A. doderleini is associated with a few specimens of the lucinid Anodontia mioinflata Kiel, Sami & Taviani, 2018 .
