Hello Enzo,
Payne & Allen doesn't record these two species from the Mediterranean.
I consider you find an illustration of the Thyasira striata the best in the
original-description by STURANY 1896,
Denkschr. k. Akad. Wiss., Wien, 53:17, pl. 1, fig. 23.
Request about a copy with Senckenbergische Bibliothek,
Dokumentenlieferdienst SSG/S, Bockenheimer Landstraße 134-138, D-60325
Frankfurt a.M., Germany.
