The large, thick-shelled paralectotypes are better preserved than the lectotype and exhibit 7 and 9 costellae respectively at 5 mm anteromedially of the umbones; B 14404 also exhibits the distinctive concentric fila characteristic of the type species. Indeed, having examined over 150 recognizable MonoboUna specimens in an old Geological Survey collection from Abereiddy Bay, we have selected twelve specimens (GSM Zs 6259-70) which exhibit the outline, ornament and ventral muscle platform impressions characteristic of the type species M. plumbea.
