Limidae Rafinesque 1815

Description

Family Limidae Rafinesque, 1815

Remarks. There are few records of limids in the fossil seep record, with only three named species in three genera (two from Japan, Lima Cuvier, 1798 and Limatula Wood, 1839, and one from Svalbard, Pseudolimea Arkell in Douglas & Arkell, 1932). Lima zushiensis Yokoyama, 1920, was reported by Hirayama (1973) from a tentative seep-related fauna in the middle Miocene Hiranita Formation, and Amano & Kanno (1991) reported Limatula cf. (Limatula) vladivostokensis (Scarlato, 1955) and another indeterminate species of Limatula from the Pliocene Nadachi Formation. Hryniewicz et al. (2014) recently reported Pseudolimea arctica (Zakharov, 1966) from the Berriasian (local Ryazanian) Slottsmøya Member. No limid bivalve has been reported from modern New Zealand seep environments, although several genera are known from New Zealand waters inhabiting other marine environments in the present day (Spencer et al. 2009).
