As part of his monographic study of the Tertiary Mollusca of the Gisborne district of North Island, New Zealand, Marwick (1931: 58) described a new glycymeridid, which he calledGlycymeris reevei, from the Middle Miocene Tutamoe Formation. Unfortunately, the specific namereeveiis preoccupied in the Recent Philippine speciesGlycymeris reevei(Mayer 1868: 23, asPectunculus), a name in general used among Japanese and Filipino malacologists. We are not aware of any junior synonym of Marwick’s species, and, therefore, we propose to provide the nameGlycymeris marwickiforGlycymeris reeveiMarwick, non Mayer.
