Genus
Humptulipsia
Kiel, 2008
Type
species:
Abyssochrysos raui
Goedert & Kaler, 1996
(by original designation); middle
Eocene Humptulips Formation
,
Washington State
,
USA
.
Remarks:
Kaim
et al.
(2008a)
suggested that
Humptulipsia
might belong to the
Hokkaidoconchidae
, but without providing evidence for this opinion. Due to the lack of new data, especially on its protoconch morphology, the genus is here provisionally retained in the
Abyssochrysidae
.
