| Family | BIVALVIA |
| Name | Modiolus aurum - VERY RARE , Osorio, 1979 |
| Size | 25 mm |
| Locality | Robinson Crusoe Island |
| Note | One very nice specimen (F+/G) of the very rare mytilid Modiolus aurum Osorio, 1979, from the original lot from which this species was described. This specimen is in perfect condition but needs to be cleaned of fine debris attached to byssus and to the periostracal hairs, characteristic of this species.
This species was described more than forty years ago from a single lot collected at the Robinson Crusoe Island, in the Juan Fernandez Archipelago off central Chile. This is a very remote island, only reachable by boat and small planes. There are just a few specimens of this species in local museums. There are no subsequent records of this species in the literature since its description. This is an opportunity to obtain the rarest mytilid found in the southeastern Pacific, from a rare and hard to reach locality. |
