| Notes |
Dimensions: reaches 25 to 50 mm in size [details] Distribution: Canadian coast to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Florida, to Texas to Brazil, Bermuda [details] Habitat: infralittoral and circalittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details] Habitat: Known from rocky shores. [details] Nomenclature: Formally, the name Anomia acontes J.E. Gray, 1850 has 3 years priority over Anomia simplex d'Orbigny, 1853. However, the name Anomia simplex d'Orbigny, 1853 has been in prevailing usage, with over 25 usages in the last 50 years. By contrast, the name Anomia acontes J.E. Gray, 1850 had not been used as valid since 1899 until Huber (2010: 616) reinstated it, thereby violating Art. 23.9 of the ICZN Code. Under Art. 23.10 the case should be refered to the Commission and prevailing usage [in this case Anomia simplex as the valid name] must be maintained. [details] Reproduction: separate sexes, usually not dimorphic in shell structure; fertilization occurs within the mantle cavity anf young hatch as pelagic larvae (generalized for group) [details] | ||||||||||||||||
