FIGURE 16 in New fossil mussels (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) from Miocene hydrocarbon seep deposits, North Island, New Zealand, with general remarks on vent and seep mussels

FIGURE 16. Diagram depicting range of relative maximum sizes reported* in species of the genus Bathymodiolus Kenk and Wilson, 1985 (sensu lato and sensu stricto) against the largest specimen of B. heretaunga sp. nov. (paratype TM8724). Modern species are represented by thin-lined boxes, fossil species by bold-lined boxes. Mean maximum size (H = 49.4 mm, L = 117.3 mm) and H/L ratio (0.44) for genus shown by dashed lines. Tick marks indicate lengths of various undescribed species (see Table 7). Faded background images are holotypes of largest (B. boomerang Cosel and Olu, 1998, H = 110.0 mm, L = 360.0 mm) and smallest (B. willapaensis (Squires and Goedert, 1991), H = 10.0 mm, L = 20.0 mm) species in the genus. These holotype images are slightly distorted to fill the dimensions of the largest specimen of each species reported, modified from Cosel and Olu (1998: fig. 1) and Squires and Goedert (1991: fig. 2.4). ad: B. aduloides Hashimoto and Okutani, 1994; ak: B. akanudaensis (Kuroda, 1931); an: B. anteumbonatus Cosel and Janssen, 2008; az: B. azoricus Cosel and Comtet in Cosel, Comtet and Krylova, 1999; bk: B. brooksi Gustafson, Turner, Lutz and Vrijenhoek, 1998; bm: B. boomerang Cosel & Olu, 1998; bv: B. brevior Cosel, Métivier and Hashimoto, 1994; ch: B. childressi Gustafson, Turner, Lutz and Vrijenhoek, 1998; ed: B. edisonensis Cosel and Janssen, 2008; el: B. elongatus Cosel, Métivier and Hashimoto, 1994; ex: B.? exbrocchii (Sacco, 1898); H: shell height; hg: B. heretaunga; hk: B. heckerae Turner, Gustafson, Lutz and Vrijenhoek in Gustafson, Turner, Lutz and Vrijenhoek, 1998; ht: B. hirtus Okutani, Fujikura and Sasaki, 2004; jp: B. japonicus Hashimoto and Okutani, 1994; L: shell length; mn: B. manusensis Hashimoto and Furuta, 2007; mi: B. marisindicus Hashimoto, 2001; mr: B. mauritanicus Cosel, 2002; pf: B. platifrons Hashimoto and Okutani, 1994; pm: B. palmarensis Kiel, Campbell and Gaillard, 2010; ps: B. puteoserpentis Cosel, Métivier and Hashimoto, 1994; sd: B. septemdierum Hashimoto and Okutani, 1994; sf: B. securiformis Okutani, Fujikura and Sasaki, 2004; th: B. thermophilus Kenk and Wilson, 1985; tta: B. tangaroa tangaroa Cosel and B.
