Borges & Merckelbach Fig. 3 Synonymy. Lyrodus pedicellatus Mediterranean form ( Borges et al. 2012 ), L. pedicellatus II ( Weigelt et al. 2016 ), Lyrodus pedicellatus Turkey ( Treneman et al. 2018 ). Type material. Holotype : specimen with pallets ( MNHN IM-2000-33821 ); BOLD ID: WBET133 , project “Wood Boring Mollusca from Europe”, publicly available in the BOLD System; DNA voucher stored deep frozen (-80°C) at the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal . Paratypes : three specimens ( MNHN IM-2000-33822 , MNHNIM-2000- 33823 , MNHN-IM-2000-33824 ); BOLD IDs: WBET130 ; WBET134 ; WBET135 . All specimens were collected at the type locality, preserved in 96% ethanol and stored at 4°C at the Institute for Coastal Research, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Germany. The types are deposited at the Muséum National D´Histoire Naturelle in Paris, France . Type locality. Mersin Bay , Mersin , Turkey ( 36° N 48´; 36° E 38.4´); Mediterranean Sea . Other material examined. Morphology of the pallets of specimens obtained by Borges (2014) from Mersin , Turkey (n = 127) and Rovinj, Croatia (n = 301). Morphological diagnosis. The morphologic characters are identical to those of Lyrodus pedicellatus (see below) according to Turner (1966 ; 1971 ). Molecular diagnosis. COI sequences yield 32 molecular diagnostic characters between position 61 and position 658 ( Table 3 ). 28S rRNA sequences yield eight molecular characters in positions 111(T), 112(T), 450(G), 708(T), 714(C), 759(A), 1248(T), and 1262(G) ( Table 4 ). BIN BOLD: AAO8110 (n = 4), including the holotype . Intraspecific variation: 0.4%; closest neighbour species: Bankia carinata at a genetic distance of 19.3% and Lyrodus pedicellatus at a genetic distance of 19.9%. Etymology. Named after the type locality, Mersin , south of Turkey . Distribution. Currently known only from the type locality, but probably widespread in the Mediterranean and possibly the Black Sea ( Borges et al . 2014a ). Habitat. Marine; wood-boring organisms.
