REMARKS

The present specimens of Pseudohinnites levii are similar to the type material from New Caledonia, although the vesicular lamellae on the radial lirae of the left valve are more widely spaced and the interliral spaces are almost smooth or with very weak commarginal lamellae (typical with closely spaced prominent commarginal lamellae).Other characters are indistinguishable from the type material.
