| Abstract |
A new Lembulus species (Bivalvia, Nuculanidae) is described from the Pliocene (Zanclean-Piacenzian) of Northern Italy. Lembulus forlii n. sp. is closely similar to Lembulus pella (Linné, 1758), from which it differs mainly by being more elongate, with a longer, curved rostrum and a finer sculpture. |
