Family LUNULACARDIIDAE P. Fischer, 1887

lunatum, Cardium – Deshayes, 1857-TraitElem: 49. Replacement name for Cardium semistriatum ( Münster, 1840) [ Lunulacardium ] (p. 69, pl. 13, fig. 10), non C. semistriatum Bean , in Young & Bird, 1828, nec Deshayes, 1829. — Type locality: Oberscheld, Germany. — Type age: Devonian (Frasnian). Hylleberg (2004: 605, as “1853”, 759). This species name did not need to be replaced, the replacement was not used by later authors, and ICZN Code Art. 59.3 can be applied. Incorrectly placed by d’Orbigny (1850a: 80, no. 602) in Conocardium , it is instead a bivalve ( Rogalla & Amler 2006: 49), and is the type species (SD Stoliczka, 1870) of Lunulacardium Münster, 1840 ( Nagel-Myers & Amler 2007: 52-54, pl. 1, figs 1-10, text-fig. 4) – Current status: Lunulacardium semistriatum Münster, 1840 , with Deshayes’ replacement being a synonym.
