spissa , Venus – Deshayes, 1835-HistNatAnim2: 373, ex Quoy ms; 1839-HistNatAnim3: 618. — Type locality: New Zealand. — Type age: Recent. This name does not appear in Quoy & Gaimard (1835), and the figures referred to by Deshayes therein were named Venus crassa by Quoy & Gaimard (1835: 525, pl. 84, figs 7-8). Undoubtedly, Deshayes realized that Venus crassa was a junior homonym – non Gmelin, 1791 – and proposed a new species because of the homonymy; thus it is not explicitly a replacement name. — Type species (OD) pf Tawera Marwick, 1927 .
