Fellerites sp. P1

(Pl. I: Fig. 16)

2013 Fellerites sp. P1; Maillet: 66, pl. VII, fig. 9.

Material. 3 specimens (1 C, 2 V).

Description. Medium-sized equivalve carapace, truncated circular outline in lateral view, flat and slightly biconvex in dorsal view, almost symmetrical both, in lateral and dorsal views. Hmax median; Lmax at 2/5 dorsal; Wmax slightly dorsal. Straight hinge line and dorsal margin. Posterior cardinal angle of about 120°. Anterior cardinal angle of about 135°. From there, regularly convex free margins, describing a perfect circle. Carapace flattened around the cardinal angles. Surface punctuated.

Discussion. These specimens may belong to F. crumena ( Kummerow, 1953) , however, none of them is complete and surface is punctuate, not smooth.

Occurrence. Middle Givetian (Candás Fm, mb B), Asturias (Peran-Perlora section).
