Appolloni, Massimo, Smriglio, Carlo, Amati, Bruno, Lugliè, Lorenzo, Nofroni, Italo, Tringali, Lionello P., Mariottini, Paolo & Oliverio, Marco, 2018, Catalogue of the primary types of marine molluscan taxa described by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato, deposited in the Museo Civico di Zoologia, Roma, Zootaxa 4477 (1), pp. 1-138 : 85

cyclopana , Panopaea [ Panopea glycimeris ( Born, 1778) ] ( Figures 38N, O )

1889c: 26 [XXXV: 858]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–5912 —1 sh (2 v) “P. aradasii Monts. ms. Isola dei Ciclopi , p. Catania Aradas ”// 1 sh (2 v) “P. aradasii Monts. ms . Isola dei Ciclopi p. Catania Aradas”

Type locality. Described from Ciclopi Islands (Sicily).

Remarks. Name used to distinguish the Eastern Sicilian, more slender populations, considered as distinct from the exclusively Atlantic and Western Mediterranean (Bay of Malaga) typical Panopaea glycimeris . The name “P. aradasii” was used only in schedis and not in the publication. Currently (e.g. Thomsen et al., 2009) all Recent northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean panopeas are considered as belonging to Panopea glycimeris ( Born, 1778) , a position that we share. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Panopea glycimeris ( Born, 1778) .

† philippii , Panopaea [ Panopaea philippii Monterosato, 1891 ] taxon inquirendum ( Figures 39A, B )

Type locality. Described from Monte Pellegrino † (Sicily).

Remarks. Name introduced for Panopea faujasii Ménard 1807 , sensu Philippi, 1836 considered a distinct species. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum.
