Dreissena harmandi
Rochebrune, 1882: 102. Type locality: "Lac de Rhom-Penh, Mekong".
Sinomytilus harmandi
:
Brandt 1974
: 307, pl. 26, fig. 69;
Morton and Dinesen 2010
: 57-72.
Material examined.
ZRC.MOL.015657, ZRC.MOL.015658, ZRC.MOL.015659, ZRC.MOL.015667, ZRC.MOL.015668.
Distribution and habitat.
Similar to that of
Limnoperna fortunei
.
Remarks.
Sinomytilus harmandi
appears to be limited in range to the Lower Mekong River basin, and it may have previously been mistaken for
Limnoperna fortunei
, resulting in a lack of historical records (
Morton and Dinesen 2010
). Our finding that
Sinomytilus harmandi
often co-occurs with
Limnoperna fortunei
, but in much lower densities, may further account for the former being overlooked in the literature.
Sinomytilus harmandi
may be distinguished from
Limnoperna fortunei
by the presence of an interior shell septum.
