Corbula costellata Deshayes in Boblaye & Virlet, 1833, p. 231, pl. 7, figs. 1-3 [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Terrains tertiare, Morée [Peloponnisos, Greece] Range: 35°N to 9°N; 82°W to 3.41°W Depth: 4 to 375 m Distribution: USA: North Carolina, Florida: East Florida, West Florida, Florida Keys References: Maury (1920) W; Allen & Morgan (1981) E Comments: The correct date for this species is controversial. The name first appears in a list of Tertiary fossils in Boblaye & Virlet (1833), with reference to Geologie plate 7, figs. 1-3. The 7 plates for fossil mollusks were renumbered and added to Deshayes (1835), which is part of the same work (Expédition Scientifique de Morée). Corbula costellata was described on pp. 86-87, pl. 24, figs. 1-3 (renumbered from pl. 7). Deshayes' text was issued in 1835 according to Sherborn & Woodward (1901: 336). It is not clear when the plates were issued. If plates for Geology were issued in 1833 along with the corresponding text, the name dates from 1833 (as assumed here), otherwise it dates from 1835 (G. Rosenberg 20 June 2006). Combining Genera: Cuspidaria
