Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper describes a new Asian hard clam, Meretrix taiwanica sp. n., found in the Tamsui River estuary in northern Taiwan. This species was formerly identified as M. lusoria, and was considered to be a descendant of a clam that originated in Japan. A molecular phylogenetic analysis, however, demonstrated that Meretrix taiwanica sp. n. is closely related to M. petechialis and M. lusoria. Meretrix taiwanica is distinguished by its smaller socket width and shorter posterior dorsal margin. This species is distributed throughout the coast of Taiwan on the southern coast of China.

台湾银杏(双壳亚纲:银杏科)，以前在台湾被误认的新种

摘要本文报道了在台湾北部淡水河口发现的一种新的亚洲硬蛤——台湾文蛤。该物种以前被鉴定为M.lusoria，被认为是起源于日本的一种蛤蜊的后代。然而，一项分子系统发育分析表明，台湾Meretrix taiwanica sp.n与紫锥虫和露索里虫关系密切。台湾文蛤以其较小的窝宽度和较短的背侧后缘而著称。本种分布于中国南部沿海的台湾沿海。

期刊介绍： Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology. While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered. The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
