Remarks. De Rochebrune (1882) described a species of Acanthochitona from the Miocene of France (Serravallian), A. dulignoni , known for a single tail valve from Largileyre (Gironde, France) reported by Benoist (1882). Cossmann & Peyrot (1919) consider this valve close to Acanthochiton costatus Sacco, 1897 (now Craspedochiton mutinocrassus [ Sacco, 1897], see Dell’Angelo et al. 2016: 90), refering to the valve figured by Sacco (1897: pl. 7, fig. 36), considered as Craspedochiton ? sp. by Dell’Angelo et al. (2016: 91, pl. 6, figs 16–19).

Dell’Angelo et al. (1999) considered this valve conspecific with Acanthochitona faluniensis (de Rochebrune, 1882) [considered = A. fascicularis ( Linnaeus, 1767) ]. Unfortunately, the description and figure of de Rochebrune (1882) ( Fig. 153L View FIGURE 153 ) and Cossmann & Peyrot (1919) are not sufficient to identify the species with certainty, and the type material of A. dulignoni is not present in the Benoist collection deposited at MHNBx (Charles Laurent, pers. com.). Therefore, A. dulignoni is considered nomen dubium.
