glauca, Monia [ Pododesmus squama (Gmelin, 1791)] ( Figures 35G, H )

1884h: 3 [XXXI: 659]—available name

Type material. MCZR–M–13047 —2 sh “ Monia glauca M. Napoli. ”

MCZR–M–13005 —48 sh + 3 frg “ Monia glauca M. Ficarazzi ”.

Type locality. Described from Palermo and Ficarazzi † (Sicily), and Napoli ( Italy).

Remarks. Name introduced to distinguish Anomia striata Brocchi, 1814 , sensu Lovén (1846: 183), and accompanied by a description. Monia glauca was considered as valid by Sabelli et al. (1990 –1992: 84, 296—as Pododesmus glaucus ), and is recorded as a possible synonym of Pododesmus squama (Gmelin, 1791) which is a valid species ( Holmes, 2017) by MolluscaBase (2018). We keep it under this synonymy, although it may be rather related to Pododesmus patelliformis (Linnaeus, 1761) .
