Are they the same species ?

yes is the same. called in the past ostreola parenzani but actually is just syn  of ostreola stentina( payrudeau,1826)

Thanks.


Ostrea capsa, according to this:

http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p...&id=140659
http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p...&id=542284

I don't know if is correct. in fact other department of systematic for the European marine mollusks doesn't recognize capsa as cyronim.
