>Two things...
>(a)  I'm trying to get some info/insight on the

>lucinid subgenus Divalinga Chavan, 1951 to its use at the generic
>level, and the inclusion of  quadrisulcata d'Orbigny, 184?  and
>exclusion of  dentata Wood, 1815   ...both of which had been placed
>(per listing in Abbott, 1974)  in the genus  Divaricella von
>Martens, 1880  and both in the subgenus  Divalinga Chavan, 1951.

>(b)  While searching for such a publication revising this lucinid
