Gm. Kamenev et Va. Nadtochy, 2 NEW SPECIES OF LAMPEIA (BIVALVIA, THRACIIDAE) FROM THE NORTHWESTERNPACIFIC, WITH NOTES ON LAMPEIA-ADAMSI (MACGINITIE, 1959), The Veliger, 41(3), 1998, pp. 259-273
The genus Lampeia was previously represented in the Chukchi Sea and th
e northwestern Bering Sea by only one species, Lampeia adamsi (MacGini
tie, 1959). We found L. adamsi in the Sea of Okhotsk at depths of 65-8
5 m. Additionally, we described two new species from this genus. Lampe
ia triangula was found in the Sea of Okhotsk off the west coast of Kam
chatka at a depth of 144-214 m, Lampeia posteroresecta off the Kurile
Islands near Iturup Island at 180 m and in the Fourth Kurile Strait at
500 m. An expanded description of L. adamsi, including some additiona
l data on shell morphology, geographic distribution, and habitat is al
so given.
