Treatment

fransciscana, Unio (Monocondylea), S. Moricand, 1838: 145 , pl. 3 figs 14-17.

Type locality: [ Brazil, Bahia ] le fleuve S. Francisco [Blanchet]. Holotype: MHNG-INVE-91235 (1) ( Unionidae ) [ Figs 20-23 View Figs 14-31 ].

– Remarks. Moricand senior wrote “je n’en ai reçu qu’un seul individu”, thus the pair of shells found is the holotype. One valve in the USNM collection (USNM 86333), although with a label written by Moricand senior, appears to have been sent at a later date, originating from a further shipment that Moricand received from Blanchet; this material is thus not considered as type material.
