This species has been known also from east Siberia, Canada, New Zealand, New Caledonia and many other areas in circum-Pacific region.
Remarks. —The infraspecific classification of Monotis ochotica complex is one of the most interesting but troublesome problems in the systematics of Japanese Mesozoic Bivalvia. Teller in Mojsisovics (1886) proposed a number ofvarietal names under "Psendomonotis" ochotica on the basis of Siberian specimens, namely, densistriata, enrachis, pachypleura, ambigua, sparsicostata, etc. Many subsequent authors used those names in the classification of Japanese materials, sometimes as subspecific or even specific, merely on the basis of morphological resemblance between individuals. In order to recognize the taxonomic validity of those varietal names further studies are needed especially on the intra- and interpopulational variation as well as the stratigraphic and geographic distribution. Since Kiparisova et al. (1966) examined many specimens from the type area and still regarded those names as infrasubspecific, almost all the names of this complex given to Japanese materials are tentatively treated as synonymous.

Genus Neithea Drouet, 1825*
Subgenus Neithea Drouet, 1825

Neithea (Neithea) atava (Römer)
1965a. Neithea (Neithea) kanmerai Hayami, p. 305, text-fig. 4, pl. 43, figs. 1-5, pl. 52, fig. 3.-1973. Neithea (Neithea) atava (Römer): Dhondt, p. 41.
Type. —Holotype of Neithea (Neithea) kanmerai (GK H6132) from Kohara, Toyo, Kumamoto Pref.
Age and distribution. —Upper Neocomian-Aptian. Hinagu formation in Sakamoto area, Arita formation in Yuasa area, Hanoura formation in Katsuuragawa area and Ishido formation in Sandhu area. This species is widely distributed in the Neocomian Aptian (particularly Hauterivian and Barremian) of Germany, France and Switzerland and also known from Tanzania and Trinidad.
Remarks. —As noted before (Hayami, 1965a, p. 308), there were some different opinions among European authors about the actual nature of Pecten atavus Römer, 1839. In 1965, I followed Woods' (1902) interpretation in which this specific name should be applied for another unrelated small species with highly unequal auricles [now regarded as Neithea (Neithella) notabilis (Munster)], and proposed a new specific name, Neithea (Neithea) kanmerai, on the basis of the Japanese large specimens in question. As pointed out by Dhondt (1973), however, Woods' interpretation of Pecten atavus is certainly erroneous, and N. (N.) kanmerai is scarcely different from the European specimens of true N. (N.) atava in every essential character. Although Romer's original specimen has not been observed by any recent authors, I agree here with Dhondt in regarding N. (N.) kanmerai as synonymous with N. (N.) atava.

Neithea (Neithea) ficalhoi (Choffat)
1934, Pecten (Neithea) morrisi Pictet and Renevier: Nagao, p. 206, pl. 26, figs. 2-6.1965a. Neithea {Neithea) ficalhoi (Choffat): Hayami, p. 302, text-fig. 4, pi. 42, figs. 5-16.-1973. Neithea (Neithea) alpina (d'Orbigny): Dhondt, p. 15 (pars).
Age and distribution. —Aptian. Miyako group (Tanohata and Hiraiga formation) in Tanohata and Miyako areas. This species was originally described from the Aptian (?) of Angola.
Remarks. —It may be possible, as treated by Dhondt (1973), to regard Janira ficalhoi Choffat in Choffat, and Loriol, 1888, as a junior synonym of Janira alpina d'Orbigny, 1847, because the mode of radial ribbing is quite similar, although the occurence of the latter species is almost restricted to the Upper Cretaceous in western Europe. Further comparison among the African, European and Japanese specimens seems to be necessary to clarify the evolutionary relationship.

Neithea (Neithea) syriaca (Conrad)
1957b. Pecten (Neithea) cf. morrisi (Pictet and Renevier): Amano, p. 88, pl. 1, figs. 17, 18, 20-25, 27-29.-1965a. Neithea {Neithea) amanoi Hayami, p. 299, text-fig. 4, pl. 41, figs. 8-10, pl. 42, figs. 1-4.-1972. Neithea (Neithea) amanoi Hayami: Shikama and Suzuki, pl. 4, fig. 15.-1973. Neithea (Neithea) syriaca (Conrad): Dhondt, p. 37.
Type. —Holotype of Neithea (Neithea) amanoi (GK H6267) from Hagino, Kahoku, Kochi Pref.
Age and distribution. —Aptian. Hagino formation in Monobegawa area and Choshi formation in Choshi area. This species is widely distributed in the Aptian and Albian of Lebanon, Angola, Madagascar and western Europe.
Remarks. —Dhondt (1973, p. 37) regarded Amano's specimens as belonging to Neithea (Neithea) syriaca (Conrad, 1852), whereas Neithea (Neithea) amanoi Hayami, 1965, which was based on the material from the same locality as Amano's, was compared by her (p. 29) with Neithea (Neithea) coquandi (Peron, 1877) from the Albian-Cenomanian of western Europe. So far as I observed many specimens of N. (N.) syriaca [=N. (N.) morrisi] from Lebanon and western Europe, no essential difference could be found between N. (N.') amanoi and that species. Although one of the four intercalary secondary ribs becomes more frequently indistinct in the Japanese form, it may be assigned to geographic variation. This form clearly differs from N. (N.) coquandi in the more uniform and generally weaker ribs and much smaller size.

Neithea (Neithea) matsumotoi Hayami
1965a. Neithea (Neithea) matsumotoi Hayami, p. 297, text-fig. 4, pl. 41, figs. 1-7.-com-pare 1965. Neithea sp.: Matsumoto, Hayami and Hashimoto, p. 10, pl. 1, fig. 13.-11967. Neithea (Neithea) matsumotoi Hayami: Hayami and Kawasawa, p. 76, pl. 9, fig. 2.
Type. —Holotype (GK H6126) from Miyaji, Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Pref.
Age and distribution. —Albian. Yatsushiro formation in Yatsushiro area, Haidateyama formation in Nozu area and Shimantogawa group (Doganaro formation) in Susaki area.
Remarks. —As discussed by Dhondt (1973, p. 46), the present species is apparently similar to Neithea (Neithea) sexcostata (Woodward, 1833) from the Cenomanian-Maesttrichtian of northwest Europe in the surface ornamentation of right valve. So far as I examined many specimens of N. (N.) sexcostata from the Chalk of England and Scania, however, N. (N.) matsumotoi is different from the European species in the larger apical angle, weaker convexity of right valve and weaker radial ribs on the left valve.

Neithea (Neithea) nipponica Hayami
1934. Pecten (Neithea) sp.: Nagao, p. 209, pl. 29, figs. 8, 9.-1965a. Neithea (Neithea) nipponica Hayami, p. 296, text-fig. 4, pl. 40, figs. 1-6, pl. 52, figs. 1, 2.-1973. Neithea (Neithea) quinquecostata (Sowerby): Dhondt, p. 32 (pars).
Type. —Holotype (GK H6263) from Raga, Tanohata, Iwate Pref.
Age and distribution. —Aptian-Albian. Miyako group (Aketo formation and upper part of Hiraiga formation) in Tanohata area.
Remarks. —Dhondt (1973, p. 34) discussed the taxonomic position of this species and regarded it as synonymous with Neithea (Neithea) quinqnecostata (Sowerby, 1814). As the result of my observation of a number of specimens (including the lectotype) of the European species from the Cenomanian of England, it was found that N. (N.) nipponica is characterized by the more rounded (less polygonal) outline of left valve, less angulated anterior and posterior extremity of right valve and thinner test than N. (N.) quinquecostata. It is unlikely they are conspecific. However, it is interesting to see that the difference is not so striking between our specimens and some of the material from the Aptian and Albian of England preserved under the name of N. (N.) quinquecostata in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.).

Neithea (Neithea) kochiensis Hayami
1967. Neithea (Neithella?) kochiensis Hayami, in Hayami and Kawasawa, p. 76, pl. 9, fig. 1.
Type. —Holotype (GK H6808) from Kakureyashiki, Susaki, Kochi Pref.

Neithea (Neithella) notabilis (Münster in Goldfuss): Dhondt, p. 67.
Age and distribution. —Upper Neocomian-Aptian. Ishido formation in Sanchu area, Miyako group (Hiraiga formation) in Tanohata area and Choshi formation in Choshi area.
Remarks. —Yabe and Nagao in Yabe, Nagao and Shimizu (1926) and Hayami (1965a) followed Woods' misinterpretation of Pecten atavus Römer, 1839. Here I agree with Dhondt (1973, p. 67) in regarding these Japanese specimens as referable to Neithea (Neithella) notabilis instead of N. (Neithea) atava.

* As the result of Dhondt's (1973) important systematic study and also my own observation on many European specimens of Neithea at the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and some other institutions in western Europe, it becomes clear that some of the specific names applied before (Hayami, 1965a) for Japanese sepcimens must be revised. Since the circumstances are somewhat complicated, only the revised names are given in this catalogue with brief notes for the reason of alteration, and the full account will be described and discussed on another occasion. Particular thanks are due to Dr. N. J. Morris of the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and Dr. Annie Dhondt of the Royal Institute of Natural Science of Belgium for this revision.[return to the text]
