Abstract

Taviani, M., Sabelli, B. & Candini, F. 1990 04 15: A fossil Cenozoic monoplacophoran. Lethaia, Vol. 23, pp. 213–216. Oslo. ISSN 0024–1164. A few shells of Micropilina (Mollusca, Monoplacophora) have been found in middle Pleistocene (Sicilian) epibathyal clays at Archi (Reggio Calabria, southern Italy). The species appears conchologically indistinguishable from the Recent Atlantic taxon Micropilina minuta Warén, 1989. This finding represents the first record of a Cenozoic fossil monoplacophoran.
