From editor or global species database
New combination Combination not established as such in the literature. Zotin (2018) did not list this species in his revision of Margaritiferidae, but he listed Palaeomargaritifera crestata (J.-M. Wei, 1984). That species was synonymized with Margaritifera (Mengyinaia) manasensis (J.-M. Wei, 1984) by Ma (1996), which Zotin apparently did not notice. Following the synonymization of Ma (1996) and the updated systematics of Zotin (2018), the species should be called Palaeomargaritifera manasensis (J.-M. Wei, 1984). [details]
