Family MYTILIDAE arenaria, Crenella [Crenella arenaria Monterosato, 1875 ex H. Martin, ms.] (Figures 34K, L) 1872b: 19 [VI: 101]—nomen nudum 1874a: 249 [X: 175]—nomen nudum 1875b: 10 [XIII: 236]—nomen nudum 1875c: 7 [XIV: 283]—available name Type material. MCZR–M–14017 —21 sh + 23 v + 15 frg “ Crenella? arenaria Sciacca!” Type locality. Described from Sciacca (Sicily). Remarks. The species was described—very briefly indeed—in a paper on the shells collected from coralligenous bottoms off Sciacca (Sicily), thus the provenance of the material found in the Monterosato collection fits the Type locality.. The actual systematic position of the species is problematic and needs further investigation. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as Crenella arenaria Monterosato, 1875 ex H. Martin, ms.
