Two rare deep-sea bivalve species from the Levantine Coast of Turkey: Bathyarca philippiana (Nyst, 1848) and Verticordia granulata Seguenza G., 1860

2000 ve 2005 yıllarında, Türkiye’nin Ege Denizi ve Akdeniz kıyılarında gerçekleştirilen ayrıntılı iki araştırma çerçevesinde, nadir dağılımlı iki derin deniz bivalv türü (Bathyarca philippiana (Nyst, 1848) ve Verticordia granulata Seguenza G., 1860) tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden, V. granulata Akdeniz’in Levantin havzası ile Türkiye Mollusca faunası için ilk defa bildirilirken, B. philippiana Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyılarından ilk defa rapor edilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, incelenen iki türün morfolojik, ekolojik ve zoocoğrafik özellikleriyle ilgili bilgiler verilmiştir.

Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyılarından iki nadir derin deniz bivalv türü: Bathyarca philippiana (Nyst, 1848) ve Verticordia granulata Seguenza G., 1860

During 2 detailed surveys conducted along the Turkish coasts of the Aegean and Levantine seas in 2000 and 2005, respectively, 2 rare deep-water bivalve species, namely Bathyarca philippiana (Nyst, 1848) and Verticordia granulata Seguenza G., 1860, were recorded. Of these, V. granulata is new for the molluscan fauna of Turkish seas while B. philippiana is first record for the Levantine coast of Turkey. According to the literature at hand, V. granulata is also a new record for the Levantine Basin. In the present work, morphological, ecological, and distributional features of these 2 species are provided.
