Novocrania hawaiienSiS (Dall, 1920) View in CoL
1920: Crania hawaiiensis Dall Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 57, 272.
1986: Neocrania hawaiiensis (Dall), Lee & Brunton, Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. (Geol.), 40 (4), p. 152. 2001: Novocrania hawaiiensis (Dall), Lee & Brunton, Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. (Geol.), 57 (1), p. 5.
Material and synonymy. Dall (1920, p. 272) named this species from a “single ventral valve” attached to a gastropod from off the coast of Bird Island , Hawaii . The type specimen ( USNM 335294 View Materials ) was borrowed from the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC. I suggest that this specimen is not a craniid. The attached valve is sub-round (though fractured), thin, without punctae or muscle scars and with very fine, closely packed, radial costae on the inner surface. There are no morphological features that place this specimen in the Craniidae .
