1884h: 5 [XXXI: 661]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–5466 — 7 v “Sciacca”// 1 sh “(Pycnodonte) Gryphaea navicula in Nat. Sic. 1884 estratto Nomencl. gen. e sp. p. 5 (typus) fondi coralligeni di Sciacca (Monts Del Prete)”

MCZR –M–5504 —1 sh “ Gryphaea !! Navicula, Monts. Palermo n. sp.”

MCZR–M–5634 —1 sh + 10 v “ Pycnodonta navicula Monts (Ostrea) 1884 Nomencl. gen. e sp. p. 5 Sciacca”.

Type locality. Described from Sciacca, Palermo (Sicily), Patrasso (Greece).

Remarks. Subsequently figured (1915, pl. IV, fig. 1). Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as taxon inquirendum. Wisshak et al. (2008) convincingly suggested that it is a synonym of Neopycnodonte cochlear (Poli, 1795) a position that we share.
