Remarks
Originally a syntype series containing 3 valves (Issel, 1869: “3 esemplari.”); a complete shell from this lot was designated the lectotype for Kellia miliacea by Oliver & Zuschin in 2001. The remaining damaged valve was identified in the same paper as being Scacchia elliptica (Scacchi, 1831).
