(2010 b, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016); Zorić et al. (2013. 2020); Marinković et al. (2015); Marković et al. (2015); Raković (2015). Common name. Chinese pond mussel. Morphology. Large bivalve. Semicircular shell has a flatter dorsal margin, which posteriorly slightly diverges from the central axis of the shell and strongly rounded ventral margin. Dimensions are up to 200 mm in length, 170 mm in height and 45 mm in depth. For more details see Welter-Schultes (2012: 11, figure at the bottom of the page). Distribution and ecology. Native species in Eastern Asia (Soroka 2005, Kraszewski & Zdanowski 2007); nowadays widespread throughout Europe, North America, Central America, and Asia. It prefers slow-flowing or standing waters, with a fine substrate (silt and clay mostly). In Serbia, very common in large lowland rivers (Danube, Tisza, Sava; Velika Morava), and it could be found in smaller watercourses, lakes, reservoirs and ponds as well. Other remarks. Invasive species, not on the list of worst invasive taxa in Europe. It has 68 nominal species as synonyms (Graf & Cummings 2021). On the IUCN Red List it has been assessed as LC (Cummings 2011)., Published as part of Marković, Vanja, Gojšina, Vukašin, Novaković, Boris, Božanić, Milenka, Stojanović, Katarina, Karan-Žnidaršič, Tamara & Živić, Ivana, 2021, The freshwater molluscs of Serbia: Annotated checklist with remarks on distribution and protection status, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 5003 (1) on page 41, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5003.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5120059, {"references":["Lea, I.

Sinanodonta puerorum Izzatullaev and Boymurodov (2016): 17; Vinarski and Kantor (2016): 57. Type locality: Chusan [Zhoushan] Island, China. 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.

Sinanodonta jourdyi (Morlet, 1886) Anodonta jourdyi Morlet (1886): 76. Type locality: Lang Son, Vietnam [Pearl River basin]. Comments: Based on molecular data, Do et al. (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.
