Cytherura sp. of Swain, 1963
Pleistocene: Gubik Fm.; Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: Not recorded.
Loxochoncha sp. A
Pleistocene: Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: Not recorded.
Cytheromorpha sp.
Pleistocene: Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: Not recorded.
Cytherura sp.
Pleistocene: Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: Not recorded.
Elofsonia? sp.
Pleistocene: Nome.
Holocene: Cape Espenberg region. The genus Elofsonia ranges from Pleistocene-Holocene and was previously known only from northwestern Europe. Brackish to near-shore marine; tolerates a wide range of salinity and water temperature.
Celtia? sp.
Pleistocene: Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: Not recorded.
Cythere sp. A
Pleistocene: Cape Espenberg region.
Holocene: West Coast North America from north of San Francisco (38 deg. 30 min. N. lat.) to Coronation Is., southeastern Alaska (56 deg. N. lat.). Not recorded from Chukchi Sea or Beaufort Sea. The genus Cythere occurs in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the North Atlantic it ranges into subfrigid waters, while in the Pacific it has not been recorded north of the cold-temperate Aleutian Province, most probaly due to lack of sampling at higher latitudes; tolerates a wide range of salinity and water temperature.
