A small bivalve mollusk previously only known from the Pleistocene of Los Angeles County has recently been found living intertidally near Santa Barbara, California. The bivalve has been determined to be (Willett, 1937), a member of the Galeommatoidea J.E. Gray, 1840. We document the habitat for the newly discovered , and compare it to (Berry, 1963), the other extant member of this genus recorded from the region. is rare, and while many galeommatoid species have been shown to be commensal with other invertebrates, we have been unable to determine any specific commensal relationships for it.
一种此前仅在洛杉矶县更新世被发现的小型双壳类软体动物，最近在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉附近的潮间带被发现仍有存活。这种双壳类动物已被确定为（威利特，1937年），是1840年J.E.格雷的盖勒牡蛎总科的成员。我们记录了新发现的[该物种名称]的栖息地，并将其与（贝里，1963年）进行比较，后者是该地区记录的该属的另一个现存成员。[该物种名称]很罕见，虽然许多盖勒牡蛎总科物种已被证明与其他无脊椎动物共生，但我们尚未确定它有任何特定的共生关系。
