Family DREISSENIDAE J. E. Gray, 1840

apertus, Mytilus – Deshayes, 1838a: 61, [ii], pl. 4, figs 6-11. — Type locality: Crimean Peninsula. — Type age: Pliocene. Dreissenomya aperta (Deshayes, 1838) ( Glibert & Van de Poel, 1967: 73) . Dreissensomya (Sinucongeria) aperta (Deshayes, 1838) ( Morton 1970: 564-565, fig. 2; Nuttall 1990: 711, 713, 728-730; Nevesskaja et al. 1997: 219-220, pl. 96, figs 17-18). — Current status: Sinucongeria aperta (Deshayes, 1838) ( Harzhauser & Mandic 2010: 17) .

basteroti , Mytilus – Deshayes,1836-HistNatAnim2: 54;1843-HistNatAnim3: 24;1839-TraitElem: 24, pl. 37, figs 15-16;1850-TraitElem: 650-652, as Congeria . — Type localities: Bordeaux, Saint-Paul-lès-Dax & Touraine. — Type age: Miocene (Aquitanian). Proposed for Mytilus brardii Brongnairt, 1832 , sensu Basterot, 1825, non Brongniart, 1823. Congeria basteroti (Deshayes, 1836) ( Glibert & Van de Poel 1967: 72) . — Current status: Mytilopsis basteroti (Deshayes, 1836) ( Nuttall 1990: 724-725, pl. 5, figs 8-10; Harzhauser & Mandic 2001: 750, pl. 9, fig. 10).

inaequivalvis , Mytilus –Deshayes, 1838a: 62-63, [ii], pl. 5, figs 1-3. — Type locality: Crimean Peninsula. — Type age: Pliocene. Dreissena inaequivalvis (Deshayes, 1838) ( Glibert & Van de Poel 1967: 74) . — Current status: Dreissena (Pontodreissena) inaequivalvis (Deshayes, 1838) ( Nevesskaja et al. 1997: 216, pl. 95, figs 20-22).

rostriformis , Mytilus – Deshayes, 1838a: 61-62, [ii], pl. 4, figs 14-16. Crimean Peninsula. — Type age: Pliocene. — Type species (OD) of Pontodreissena Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1966. Dreissena rostriformis (Deshayes, 1838) ( Glibert & Van de Poel 1967: 74) . — Current status: Dreissena (Pontodreissena) rostriformis (Deshayes, 1838) ( Nuttall 1990: 715-716, 718, pl. 1, figs 7-10, pl. 2, figs 6-8; Nevesskaja et al. 1997: 213, pl. 95, figs 13-17; Taviani et al. 2007: 353-254, fig. 2: 1, 6-7; Nevesskaja et al. 2013: 424, fig. 154-12). Rosenberg & Ludyanskiy (1994: 1479, 1480, fig. 2a) cited the lectotype designated and illustrated byArchambault-Guezou (1976: pl. 6, figs 2a-2c), presumably in the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. Recently, Wesselingh et al. (2019: 59-60) concluded that rostriformis Deshayes should be restricted to the Pliocene fossil specimens, with D. bugensis Andrusov, 1890 , to be used for the Recent Caspian Sea species, the highly invasive “quagga mussel.”

subcarinatus , Mytilus – Deshayes, 1838a: 62, [ii], pl. 4, figs 12- 13. — Type locality: Crimean Peninsula. — Type age: Pliocene. Mytilopsis subcarinatus (Deshayes, 1838) ( Nuttall, 1990: 724) . — Current status: Congeria (Mytilopsis) subcarinata (Deshayes, 1838) ( Nevesskaja et al. 1997: 203-204, pl. 91, figs 5-9).
