Remarks

Lucinoma perusina is widespread in Miocene seep deposits in Italy, emphasized once more by the abundant new material reported here. The label associated with the specimens from Casola read “ Lucina strigosa Michlt ”. Chavan (1959) assigned the Miocene Lucina strigosa Michelotti, 1861 to Pseudolucinisca Chavan, 1959, but Glover & Taylor (2008) questioned this placement, pointing out that Pseudolucinisca has a large, strongly asymmetrical lunule. The specimens from Casola are too poorly preserved to show much external sculpture or the lunule. But one specimen shows a long and elongate anterior adductor muscle scar, unlike that of Pseudolucinisca lacteola (Tate, 1897) (type species of Pseudolucinisca), and instead resembling that of Lucinoma perusina.

Stratigraphic and geographic range

Upper Oligocene (upper Chattian) to Upper Miocene, northern Italy.
