Type species Turton's figure of what he believed to be Mya purpurea Montagu clearly shows a specimen of Hiatella, while Montagu's species is what now is generally called Turtonia minuta (Fabricius). The genus AginaAgina, however, has universally been accepted as a junior synonym of Hiatella and Turtonia is as well established, so any change would cause "unnecessary confusion" (Warén, 1983, Journal of Conchology, 31: 165).
