Weyla (Lywea) meeki Damborenea, 1987
DAMBORENEA, S. E. 1987. Early Jurassic Bivalvia of Argentina; Part 2, Superfamilies Pteriacea, Buchiacea and part of Pectinacea. Palaeontographica, Abteilung, A, Palaeozoologie-Stratigraphie, 199 (4-6): 113-216, pls. 1-14. [p. 186, text figs. 26.1a-26.1e, 26.2a, 26.2b]
«This subgenus is also present in western North America, as shown by a couple of specimens from Gabb's Valley Range, Nevada (USA), collected and determined by S. W. MULLER and housed in the BMNH (L 70795 and L 70796). These specimens certainly belong to this subgenus but probably to a different species (see text-fig. 26). They are labelled as "Pecten acutiplicatus MEEK". If this identification is correct and both specimens belong in fact to MEEK's poorly known species, then W. acutiplicata (MEEK 1864) belongs to Weyla (Lywea). If this is in fact different from W. (L.) unca, it needs a new name, since it is pre-occupied by Pecten acuteplicatus ALTH 1850. The name Weyla meeki nov. name is here proposed to replace Pecten acutiplicatus MEEK 1864 non Pecten acutep!icatus ALTH 1850.»
