Remarks
Archivesica strigarum
was initially described based on only a few specimens from the Middle Miocene Sasso delle Streghe and Deruta localities (
Kiel & Taviani 2017
), but our new collections indicate that this species is quite common in the Middle Miocene seep deposits in
Italy
. The new specimens illustrated here show the previously only poorly known external surface and provide a better view on the hinge.
Stratigraphic and geographic range
Upper Oligocene (upper Chattian) to Middle Miocene, northern
Italy
.
