Sumario:Carboniferous deposits of central Patagonia afford important evidence on the range and origin of various components of the endemic bivalve fauna of Gondwana, but the available material of some interesting forms is unfortunately scarce and incomplete remains that allow a very limited description. A new genus, Waterhouseus, and four new species are described: Waterhouseus keideli n. sp., Streblopteria? n. sp., Megadesmus? n. sp. and Myonia? prinsi n. sp. The morphology of Merismopteria salinensis González is amplified after revision. New occurrences are reported for two previously known species: Waterhouseus tepuelensis (González, 1969) and Pyramus primigenius González, 1972. Five further species: Nuculopsis sp., Leptodesma (Leiopteria) sp., Myonia? sp. Pyramus? sp. and Amosius sp. are left innominate because insufficiently known.
