Family Mytilidae Rafinesque, 1815 View in CoL Genus Arcomytilus Agassiz in Sowerby, 1842
Type species: Mytilus pectinatus Sowerby, 1821 . Weymouth , Dorset, S England, Kimmeridge Clay, Kimmeridgian .
Remarks.—The genus Arcomytilus was proposed by Agassiz in a note on Mytilus pectinatus Sowerby, 1821 , included in the German translation of the Mineral Conchology of Great Britain in 1842 (p. 318). James Sowerby had already passed away by that time. Nevertheless, he has to be cited as author of this publication, and the arrangement of authorities given by Soot−Ryen (1969) is correct.
