Solenaia is a genus of freshwater mussels in the family Unionidae.[1][2][3][4] They have a very elongated shell[3][4] that lacks dentition.[3]
Species
[edit]There is only one recognized extant species:[1][2]
- Solenaia emarginata (Lea, 1860)
There is also one species only known from the fossil record:[1]
- †Solenaia cordierii (C. H. d'Orbigny, 1837)
Many other species have been recognized before.[1][3][4] Chinese literature sources have records of at least five different species.[5] However, recent taxonomic work has moved most former Solenaia species to other genera, including Sinosolenaia, Parvasolenaia, and Koreosolenaia.[4]
Distribution
[edit]The only extant species, Solenaia emarginata (synonym: Solenaia khwaenoiensis[1][2]) is found in Thailand[2][6][7] in Chao Phraya and Mae Klong drainages.[3]
