V., Kropotin A. V., Travina O. V. & Khrebtova I.S. leg.; one specimen from Razdolnaya River is kept in ZIN collection, accession number 3. Description: The shell is large, triangular, and the ventral margin is rounded (Fig. 6). The umbo issignificantly prominent and slightly offset. Sculpture is represented by well-marked deep concentric ridges; the width of the ribs and distance between them are variable in the same specimen. External shell coloration varies from dark brown, greenish brown to yellow–brown, sometimes with light or dark concentric bands. Internal shell coloration varies from matte white with pale violet marks to light purple. Hinge has a heterodont dentition type, with three cardinal teeth on each valve and two crenulated lateral teeth. Siphons conical, both narrow, with a row of short papillae. Black pigment is concentrated in rings internally at the base of both siphons and in the edge of the mantle forming the siphons. The outer surface of the siphons is white; on the inside, the siphons are bright orange. The papillae of both siphons are without dark rings. Corbicula elatior is dioecious. Differential diagnosis: This species could be distinguished from the sympatric Corbicula leana, C. f l u m i n e a a n d C. j a p o n i c a b y t h e f o l l o w i n g combination of characters: larger size, significantly prominent umbo, well-marked deep concentric ridges, external shell with light or dark concentric bands, the siphons without dark pigmentation and with short papillae. Distribution: East Asia: Amur River and the Korean Peninsula (Graf & Cummings, 2021). The records of this species in the South Primorye Region (Razdolnaya River) and China (Itunghe River) (Zatravkin & Bogatov, 1987) need to be checked. Comments: Considering that the samples from the Lower Amur River are genetically identical to the samples from the Seomjin River (South Korea) collected by Park & Kim (2003), we also analysed the original descriptions of some nominal species described from South Korea: C. producta, C. elatior, C. colorata and C. papyracea. Presumably, C. producta is a junior synonym of C. fluminea (for details, see Discussion). According to their original descriptions (Heude, 1887; von Martens, 1905), C. colorata and C. papyracea are small clams with a flattened umbo. At the same time, the specimens of Corbicula from the Lower Amur River are distinguished by a relatively large shell and prominent umbo. We were unable to find any significant conchological differences between our samples of Corbicula from the Lower Amur and the type specimens of nominal species described by Bogatov & Starobogatov (1994) (Figs 6, 7). The original morphological description of C. elatior published by von Martens (1905) (Fig. 7E) corresponds well to the morphological features of our samples from the Lower Amur River. Hence, we assume that C. elatior represents a species endemic to the Far East of Russia and the Korean Peninsula. The nominal species C. amurensis, C. neƲelskoyi and C. sirotskii are considered here junior synonyms of C. elatior., Published as part of Bespalaya, Yulia V., Kropotin, Alexander V., Kondakov, Alexander V., Aksenova, Olga V., Gofarov, Mikhail Yu., Kim, Sang Ki, Lee, Jin Hee, Travina, Oksana V., Vikhrev, Ilya V., Vinarski, Maxim V. & Bolotov, Ivan N., 2023, A taxonomic reassessment of native and invasive species of Corbicula clams (Bivalvia: Cyrenidae) from the Russian Far East and Korea, pp. 104-126 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 197 (1) on pages 116-119, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlac078, http://zenodo.org/record/7499536, {"references":["von Martens E. 1905.

Material examined: Uzbekistan: Xorazm Region, near the town of Xonqa, a lake in the floodplain of the Amu Darya River, 41.53583° N, 60.88639° E, 23.vi.2017, 2 specimens [RMBH: voucher nos. biv279_1 and biv279_2], Palatov leg. Molecular data: Two identical COI sequences (NCBI GenBank acc. nos. MG581711 and MG581712, voucher nos. biv279_1 and biv279_2, respectively) were obtained. Morphology: Shell elliptical, large and thick, rather inflated, slightly winged. Anterior margin rounded, posterior ridge truncated; ventral margin curved. Umbo elevated, in the first half of the shell. Periostracum brownyellowish with numbers of concentric striae. Nacre whitish, shining. Hinge edentulous. Muscle scars shallow. In our sample, shell length is 145–167 mm, height is 92–111 mm, and width is 58–64 mm (N = 2). Habitats and ecology: A broad habitat and host generalist (Watters 1997). In Middle Asia, the species inhabits plain rivers, canals, and ponds with clay-silty bottom; very common (Izzatullaev and Boymurodov 2016). Distribution: The species appears to be native for the Yangtze River system and adjacent islands of the East China Sea (e.g. Zhoushan Island) but is widely distributed in Europe, Middle Asia, East Siberia, Myanmar, and probably Turkey (Table 1). In Uzbekistan, it was recorded in the Zarafshon River basin, a former tributary of the Amu Darya River, which is currently not reach the river because of agricultural water use, and in the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers (Fig. 1). Comments. Watters (1997) suggested that the maximum shell length of Sinanodonta woodiana sensu lato is 26 cm. Izzatullaev and Boymurodov (2016) noted that the shell length of Sinanodonta mussels in fish ponds of the Syr Darya River basin may reach a much larger size of up to 40–60 cm, and that a shell of 60 cm in length (Verigin leg.) is deposited in the collection of the Department of Ichthyology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. However, the largest shell in this collection is only 25 cm long (Dmitry M. Palatov, pers. comm., 2018) which fits with the known size range for this species. Sinanodonta gibba appears to be the oldest available name for this species (Table 1). This nominal taxon was described from the Zhoushan Island (Cantor 1842), a part of the Zhoushan Archipelago, which is located in the Hangzhou Bay of the East China Sea, relatively close to the delta of the Yangtze River. This taxonomic hypothesis corresponds with an initial identification of the invasive Sinanodonta populations in Europe and Middle Asia by Ya. I. Starobogatov (Kraszewski and Zdanowski 2001). Unfortunately, Starobogatov used the “comparatory approach” for identification of mussels (see Graf et al. 2007; Bolotov et al. 2013; Vinarski and Kantor 2016) and suggested two additional species in samples from Europe and Uzbekistan, i.e., Sinanodonta orbicularis and S. puerorum, likely due to the high variability of shell convexity (Starobogatov and Izzatullaev 1984). Later, his identification was rejected because an isoenzyme analysis failed to confirm the hypothesis of three alien sympatric Sinanodonta taxa in Europe (Kraszewski and Zdanowski 2001). The synonymy of numerous nominal taxa described from the Yangtze River basin, e.g., Sinanodonta harlandi (Baird & Adams, 1867), S. orbicularis, S. puerorum, and S. qingyuani He & Zhuang, 2013, is unclear and is in need of further detailed revision on the basis of an integrative taxonomic approach., Published as part of Kondakov, Alexander V., Palatov, Dmitry M., Rajabov, Zakir P., Gofarov, Mikhail Yu., Konopleva, Ekaterina S., Tomilova, Alena A., Vikhrev, Ilya V. & Bolotov, Ivan N., 2018, DNA analysis of a non-native lineage of Sinanodonta woodiana species complex (Bivalvia: Unionidae) from Middle Asia supports the Chinese origin of the European invaders, pp. 511-522 in Zootaxa 4462 (4) on pages 513-516, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4462.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/1441815, {"references":["Cantor, T.

(2018) found that a single Sinanodonta species is distributed in northern Vietnam (Table 1). According to this evidence, S. jourdyi inhabits the Red and Pearl River drainage basins. S. hunganhi Thach, 2016, from the Lam River appears to be a variety of S. jourdyi (Do et al. 2018). Do et al. (2018) listed S. elliptica (Heude, 1878) as a synonym of S. jourdyi. However, S. elliptica has been described from Kien-te (Chien-te), Anhui, China [Yangtze River basin] (Heude 1878) and it may therefore represent a separate species., Published as part of Kondakov, Alexander V., Palatov, Dmitry M., Rajabov, Zakir P., Gofarov, Mikhail Yu., Konopleva, Ekaterina S., Tomilova, Alena A., Vikhrev, Ilya V. & Bolotov, Ivan N., 2018, DNA analysis of a non-native lineage of Sinanodonta woodiana species complex (Bivalvia: Unionidae) from Middle Asia supports the Chinese origin of the European invaders, pp. 511-522 in Zootaxa 4462 (4) on page 518, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4462.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/1441815, {"references":["Morlet, L.

Sinanodonta cf. woodiana (Lea, 1834) Symphynota woodiana Lea (1834): 42. Type locality: Canton [Guangzhou], China. Comments: The tropical invasive lineage of Sinanodonta may actually be S. woodiana, which had been described from the Pearl River, Guangzhou (Table 1). This assumption agrees with the opinion of Dudgeon and Morton (1983) that the true Sinanodonta woodiana inhabits Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. However, the name Sinanodonta woodiana may also be a senior synonym of S. jourdyi (Morlet, 1886), which has been found in a tributary of the Pearl River in northern Vietnam (Do et al. 2018). This taxonomic puzzle could be solved in a future on the basis of molecular sequences of Sinanodonta spp. from Taiwan and the downstream of Pearl River near Guangzhou. *Several endemic taxa from Japan (Sano et al. 2017) were not included to this list. **Here, we provide only a single reference sequence for each putative species. The full list of available sequences for each species-level clade is presented in our earlier works (Bolotov et al. 2016; Vikhrev et al. 2017; Bespalaya et al. 2018). ***Codes of these lineages from China are given in accordance with Bolotov et al.

Head large, subquadrate and flattened, with two prominent postocular spines, and with pair of spines on the vertex (Fig. 1). Ground colour of the head dark yellow, with distinct black marks: one spot along clypeus, one spot in ocellar triangle, pair of spots around base of antennae, pair of almost triangular spots laterally on vertex, these spots connected with narrow black band (or few irregular black spots) along posterior margin of the head; spines black (Fig. 2). Ventral surface of head dark yellow, with pair of lateral brownish black spots (near spines) and three brownish black spots along posterior margin. Compound eyes brown, ocelli dark yellow.

Meso- and metasternum blackish brown, with dark yellow areas near coxae, with long pale brown setae. Legs brownish black; inner surfaces of fore coxae, trochanters and bases of femora dark yellow; tarsal claws black; coxae, trochanters and femora with long golden setae, tibiae and tarsus with short black setae. Fore tibiae slightly S-curved. Forewings pale brown, darkened on posterior half; a few indistinct elongated black spots between main veins (spots ���resembling dried splashes of muddy water,��� Wood-Mason (1884)); veins brownish black, with black marks bordering crossveins; Rs 8���10 -branched, usually MA bifurcate distally; 4���7 crossveins between R and Rs; MP 1 + 2 2 -branched; MP 3 + 4 2 -branched; CuA 4���5 -branched; 1 A 2 -branched. Number of costal crossveins 33���38. Hindwings pale brown, sometimes with few black spots between R and Rs.

Female tenth tergum sagitally divided by anus, and with free semicircular ventral portion; gonocoxite valvate and membranous, with apical portion subquadrate; tip of gonostylus digitiform (Figs 4���5). Remarks. Wood-Mason (1884) in his protologue noted that abdomen is brown, without brown or black marks. It is most likely, that abdomen of the type specimens became monochromatic brown due to poor drying. Similarly, he described the head and thorax coloration of type specimens as brown, but he assumed that live insects may have a green colour (Wood-Mason 1884). Actually, live individuals have dark yellow body colour. Habitat. Mountain oligotrophic zone of the Nam Ru River, Mali Hka River Basin (tributary of the Irrawaddy River) (Fig. 6). Distribution. Northeastern India (Assam State), northern Myanmar (Putao District, Kachin State) and southwestern China (Yunnan Province) (Fig. 7)., Published as part of Bolotov, Ivan N., Bespalaya, Yulia V., Gofarov, Mikhail Yu., Spitsin, Vitaly M. & Tumpeesuwan, Sakboworn, 2014, First record of rare dobsonfly species Acanthacorydalis asiatica (Wood-Mason, 1884) (Megaloptera: Corydalidae: Corydalinae) in Myanmar, pp. 446-450 in Zootaxa 3841 (3) on pages 446-449, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.3.9, http://zenodo.org/record/225768, {"references":["Wood-Mason, J.
