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)”

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.
